How to access properties of Python super classes e.g. via __class__.__dict__?

Question

How can I get all property names of a python class including those properties inherited from super classes?

class A(object):
  def getX(self         


        

Answer 1

You can either use "dir", or you can follow all the classes that are contained in the tuple returned by "mro" (method resolution order,given by the __mro__ attribute on the class) - this later method is the only way of uncovering attributes that where later overriden by subclasses:

>>> class A(object):
...    b = 0
... 
>>> class B(A):
...   b = 1
... 
>>> for cls in B.__mro__:
...     for item in cls.__dict__.items():
...         if item[0][:2] != "__":
...            print cls.__name__, item
... 
B ('b', 1)
A ('b', 0)
>>> 

Answer 2

You can use dir():

for attr_name in dir(B):
    attr = getattr(B, attr_name)
    if isinstance(attr, property):
        print attr
