Say that a have:
# file test.py
a=7
At the prompt:
import test
dir()
I would like to see the variables created in the test namespace.
However, variable "a" does not appear in the list, only "test". Since
I know that var "a" is reachable from the prompt by means of test.a,
how can I list this sort of variables?
dir(test)
works for any scope you want (except in some C modules...was
peeved at mod_python for this reason when I was playing with it a
while back). I use this for debugging all the time:
dir(foo.bar.whatever)
or if I want to remember some less-used method on a string/list/dict:
dir("")
dir([])
dir({})
