How to get a list of variables in specific Python module?

Question

Let\'s assume I have the following file structure:

data.py

foo = []
bar = []
abc = \"def\"

core.py

Answer 1

#!/usr/local/bin/python
# coding: utf-8
__author__ = 'spouk'

def get_book_variable_module_name(module_name):
    module = globals().get(module_name, None)
    book = {}
    if module:
        book = {key: value for key, value in module.__dict__.iteritems() if not (key.startswith('__') or key.startswith('_'))}
    return book

import config

book = get_book_variable_module_name('config')
for key, value in book.iteritems():
    print "{:<30}{:<100}".format(key, value)

example config

#!/usr/local/bin/python
# coding: utf-8
__author__ = 'spouk'

import os

_basedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# database section MYSQL section
DBHOST = 'localhost'
DBNAME = 'simple_domain'
DBPORT = 3306
DBUSER = 'root'
DBPASS = 'root'

# global section
DEBUG = True
HOSTNAME = 'simpledomain.com'
HOST = '0.0.0.0'
PORT = 3000
ADMINS = frozenset(['admin@localhost'])
SECRET_KEY = 'dfg45DFcx4rty'
CSRF_ENABLED = True
CSRF_SESSION_KEY = "simplekey"

result function
