List attributes of an object [duplicate]

People also ask

What does duplicate attributes mean?

Duplicate attribute values are those where multiple features share the same value for the same attribute. In many cases this is natural and expected; for example, the province (county/state) field for an address database is very likely to be the same for many records.

How do I see all the attributes of an object in Python?

Use Python's vars() to Print an Object's Attributes The dir() function, as shown above, prints all of the attributes of a Python object.

How do you print the attributes of an object in Python?

To print the attributes of an object we can use “object. __dict__” and it return a dictionary of all names and attributes of object. After writing the above code (python print object attributes), once you will print “x. __dict__” then the output will appear.


>>> class new_class():
...   def __init__(self, number):
...     self.multi = int(number) * 2
...     self.str = str(number)
... 
>>> a = new_class(2)
>>> a.__dict__
{'multi': 4, 'str': '2'}
>>> a.__dict__.keys()
dict_keys(['multi', 'str'])

You may also find pprint helpful.


dir(instance)
# or (same value)
instance.__dir__()
# or
instance.__dict__

Then you can test what type is with type() or if is a method with callable().


All previous answers are correct, you have three options for what you are asking

  1. dir()

  2. vars()

  3. __dict__

>>> dir(a)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'multi', 'str']
>>> vars(a)
{'multi': 4, 'str': '2'}
>>> a.__dict__
{'multi': 4, 'str': '2'}

vars(obj) returns the attributes of an object.


Inspect module:

The inspect module provides several useful functions to help get information about live objects such as modules, classes, methods, functions, tracebacks, frame objects, and code objects.


Using getmembers() you can see all attributes of your class, along with their value. To exclude private or protected attributes use .startswith('_'). To exclude methods or functions use inspect.ismethod() or inspect.isfunction().

import inspect


class NewClass(object):
    def __init__(self, number):
        self.multi = int(number) * 2
        self.str = str(number)

    def func_1(self):
        pass


a = NewClass(2)

for i in inspect.getmembers(a):
    # Ignores anything starting with underscore 
    # (that is, private and protected attributes)
    if not i[0].startswith('_'):
        # Ignores methods
        if not inspect.ismethod(i[1]):
            print(i)

Note that ismethod() is used on the second element of i since the first is simply a string (its name).

Offtopic: Use CamelCase for class names.


>>> ', '.join(i for i in dir(a) if not i.startswith('__'))
'multi, str'

This of course will print any methods or attributes in the class definition. You can exclude "private" methods by changing i.startwith('__') to i.startwith('_')


You can use dir(your_object) to get the attributes and getattr(your_object, your_object_attr) to get the values

usage :

for att in dir(your_object):
    print (att, getattr(your_object,att))

This is particularly useful if your object have no __dict__. If that is not the case you can try var(your_object) also
