inspect module
The inspect module also provides several useful functions to get information about live objects. For example you can check the members of an object by running:
import inspect
print(inspect.getmembers(str))
# Output: [('__add__', <slot wrapper '__add__' of ... ...
Inheritance Of Attributes
Before opening this topic, let’s take a look at the built-in __dict__ attribute.
class Example:
classAttr = 0
def __init__(self, instanceAttr):
self.instanceAttr = instanceAttra = Example(1)
print(a.__dict__)
print(Example.__dict__)Output:
{'instanceAttr': 1}
{'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'Example' objects>, '__init__': <function Example.__init__ at 0x7f8af2113f28>, 'classAttr': 0, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Example' objects>}
