How to get a reference to current module's attributes in Python

Question

What I\'m trying to do would look like this in the command line:

>>> import mymodule
>>> names = dir(mymodule)

How can I

Answer 1

As previously mentioned, globals gives you a dictionary as opposed to dir() which gives you a list of the names defined in the module. The way I typically see this done is like this:

import sys
dir(sys.modules[__name__])
