Hi, If I wanted to print an entire module, skipping the attributes starting with "__" is there an *optimal* way? Currently I am doing something like this. Note I am just using sys here to make the point
import sys data = [] for attr in sys.__dict__.keys(): if not attr.startswith('__') and not attr.endswith('__'): attr_val = getattr(sys, attr) data.append((attr, attr_val)) data.sort() for i in data: print "%s = %s" % (i[0], i[1]) Clearly this would be quicker if I didn't store it and sort the output, i.e. for attr in sys.__dict__.keys(): if not attr.startswith('__') and not attr.endswith('__'): attr_val = getattr(sys, attr) print "%s = %s" % (attr, attr_val) Anyway if there is a better way it would be useful to hear it...
