Python iterating through object attributes [duplicate]

Question

How do I iterate over an object's attributes in Python?

I have a class:

class Twitt:     def __init__(self):         self.usernames = []         self.names = []         self.tweet = []         self.imageurl = []      def twitter_lookup(self, coordinents, radius):         cheese = []         twitter = Twitter(auth=auth)         coordinents = coordinents + "," + radius         print coordinents         query = twitter.search.tweets(q="", geocode=coordinents, rpp=10)         for result in query["statuses"]:             self.usernames.append(result["user"]["screen_name"])             self.names.append(result['user']["name"])             self.tweet.append(h.unescape(result["text"]))             self.imageurl.append(result['user']["profile_image_url_https"]) 

Now I can get my info by doing this:

k = Twitt() k.twitter_lookup("51.5033630,-0.1276250", "1mi") print k.names 

I want to be able to do is iterate over the attributes in a for loop like so:

for item in k:    print item.names 

Answer 1

UPDATED

For python 3, you should use items() instead of iteritems()

PYTHON 2

for attr, value in k.__dict__.iteritems():         print attr, value 

PYTHON 3

for attr, value in k.__dict__.items():         print(attr, value) 

This will print

'names', [a list with names] 'tweet', [a list with tweet] 

Answer 2

You can use the standard Python idiom, vars():

for attr, value in vars(k).items():     print(attr, '=', value)
