vars

vars([object])

Without arguments, returns a dictionary corresponding to the current local symbol table. With a module, class or class instance object as argument (or anything else that has a __dict__ attribute), returns a dictionary corresponding to the object’s symbol table. The returned dictionary should not be modified: the effects on the corresponding symbol table are undefined.

Note: In the current implementation, local variable bindings cannot normally be affected this way, but variables retrieved from other scopes (such as modules) can be. This may change.
