getting dynamic attribute in python [duplicate]

Answer 1

I think using dir will get u essentially the same thing __dict__ normally does ...

targetValue = "value"
for k in dir(obj):
    if getattr(obj,k) == targetValue:
       print "%s=%s"%(k,targetValue)

something like

>>> class x:
...    a = "value"
...
>>> dir(x)
['__doc__', '__module__', 'a']
>>> X = x()
>>> dir(X)
['__doc__', '__module__', 'a']
>>> for k in dir(X):
...     if getattr(X,k) == "value":
...        print "%s=%s"%(k,getattr(X,k))
...
a=value
>>>
