[FIXED] How to get all objects in a module in python?

Issue

I need to get a list of all the objects within a module -- not a list of just their names. So, for instance, I have:

class myClass:  
    def __init__(self):  
        # here be code
        pass

class thing1(myClass):  
    def __init__(self):  
        self.x = 1

class thing2(myClass):  
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 2

and so on.

What I want is something that will give me a list of the objects in myClass (thing1, thing2) from which I can call methods / get attributes. I'm trying to do something like this:

for myThing in dir(myClass):  
    print myThing.x

But the dir function only gives a list of the names of the classes, and I can't get the attribute from that.

How can I do this?

Solution

If you have the name of an attribute in a string, you should use getattr to fetch it out.

Given a module X, you can get a list of all it's attributes and (for example) their types with something like this.

for i in dir(X):
   print (i,"  ",type(getattr(X,i)))
