Find functions explicitly defined in a module (python)

Question

Ok I know you can use the dir() method to list everything in a module, but is there any way to see only the functions that are defined in that module? For example, assume my module looks like this:

from datetime import date, datetime  def test():     return "This is a real method" 

Even if i use inspect() to filter out the builtins, I'm still left with anything that was imported. E.g I'll see:

['date', 'datetime', 'test']

Is there any way to exclude imports? Or another way to find out what's defined in a module?

Answer 1

Are you looking for something like this?

import sys, inspect  def is_mod_function(mod, func):     return inspect.isfunction(func) and inspect.getmodule(func) == mod  def list_functions(mod):     return [func.__name__ for func in mod.__dict__.itervalues()              if is_mod_function(mod, func)]   print 'functions in current module:\n', list_functions(sys.modules[__name__]) print 'functions in inspect module:\n', list_functions(inspect) 

EDIT: Changed variable names from 'meth' to 'func' to avoid confusion (we're dealing with functions, not methods, here).

Answer 2

How about the following:

grep ^def my_module.py
