python - How to list all fields of a class (and no methods)?

Question

Suppose o is a Python object, and I want all of the fields of o, without any methods or __stuff__. How can this be done?

I've tried things like:

[f for f in dir(o) if not callable(f)]

[f for f in dir(o) if not inspect.ismethod(f)]

but these return the same as dir(o), presumably because dir gives a list of strings. Also, things like __class__ would be returned here, even if I get this to work.

Answer 1

You can get it via the __dict__ attribute, or the built-in vars function, which is just a shortcut:

>>> class A(object):
...     foobar = 42
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.foo = 'baz'
...         self.bar = 3
...     def method(self, arg):
...         return True
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a.__dict__
{'foo': 'baz', 'bar': 3}
>>> vars(a)
{'foo': 'baz', 'bar': 3}

There's only attributes of the object. Methods and class attributes aren't present.
