All names in the current module

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

How can I get a list with all classes defined in the current module?
Thank you!

Tschö,
Torsten.

rhymes@groove ~ % cat t.py
class A: pass

rhymes@groove ~ % python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54869, Apr 18 2007, 22:08:04)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>import t
print dir(t)

['A', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__']

Now you have the list of names. To find out if they are actual classes
or not you can do this:

>>import inspect
for member in dir(t):

.... print member, inspect.isclass(getattr(t, member))
....
A True
__builtins__ False
__doc__ False
__file__ False
__name__ False

Now you have the list of names. To find out if they are actual classes
or not you can do this:

to get names' list you can simply call globals()

Not strictly true. globals() returns the current's scope global vars. If
you import a module in the current scope globals() won't display the
names inside it.

Tschö,
Torsten.

Assuming you want to see all classes in the re module:

>>import re
help(re) #best way

def isclass(cls):

.... try:
.... return issubclass(cls, cls)
.... except TypeError:
.... pass
.... return False
....

>>[cls for cls in dir(re) if isclass(getattr(re, cls))]

['Scanner', '_pattern_type', 'error']

I love this list, I learn something new everyday. Didn't know about
inspect.isclass(). Ignore this post and look at Lawrence's.
