How to get all variable and method names used in script

Question

It can be weird but I am looking for a way to get automatically all variables and method within a python script.

For example,

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
myLis         


        

Answer 1

There are a lot of variables imported by python so you're going to get a long list, but vars() will work.

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
myList = range(10)

def someMethod(x): 
    something = 4
    return something

f = someMethod(b)

print vars()

in terminal:

 $ python temp.py
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'myList': [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], 'f': 4, '__builtins__': , '__file__': 'temp.py', '__package__': None, 'someMethod': , '__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None}

EDIT
You can clean it up a bit by checking for type of variables

import types
all_vars = dict(vars())
for var_name, var in all_vars.iteritems():
    if type(var) not in [types.ModuleType, types.FunctionType] and not var_name.startswith("_"):
        print var_name

in terminal:

$ python temp.py
a
c
b
myList
f
