I have been a long time Matlab user. I Python, I miss Matlab's whos command.
So I have written a little utility whos.py, which can be downloaded here: http://beluga.eos.ubc.ca/~tang/softwares/python/ Here is the doc string: # Before using whos, do: execfile('whos.py') #=== EXAMPLES === # to see a list of all objects in the global scope whos() # to see a list of functions whos('f') # to see a list of variables (also their values) whos('v') # to see a list of Numeric array whos('a') # to see a list of variables in module os import os whos('v', module=os) # to see a list of variables whose name contains 'path' whos('v', sstr='path') # to see a list of variables whose name contains 'path' (case insensitive) whos('v', sstr='path', casesen=0) Argument what can be one of the following: A -- all a -- array f -- function m -- module v -- variable -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
