vars

This vars() function returns the mapping of an object’s (writable) attributes.

Syntax

issubclass([object])

Here,

object: Optional. An object with __dict__() special attribute.

Note: Objects such as modules and instances have an updateable __dict__ attribute; however, other objects may have write restrictions on their __dict__ attributes (for example, new-style classes use a dictproxy to prevent direct dictionary updates).

Without an argument, vars() acts like locals(). Note, that the local dictionary is only useful for reading since updates to the local dictionary are ignored.

Examples


>>> class Class1:
...     a = 13
...     b = 7
... 
>>> vars(Class1)
mappingproxy({'__module__': '__main__', 'a': 13, 'b': 7, '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'Class1' objects>, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Class1' objects>, '__doc__': None})
