object

Optional. An object with __dict__() special attribute.

Objects such as modules and instances have an updateable __dict__ attribute; however, other objects may have write restrictions on their __dict__ attributes (for example, new-style classes use a dictproxy to prevent direct dictionary updates).

Without an argument, vars() acts like locals(). Note, the locals dictionary is only useful for reads since updates to the locals dictionary are ignored.

>>> vars()
{'Foo': <class '__main__.Foo'>,
 '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>,
 '__doc__': None,
 '__name__': '__main__',
 '__package__': None,
 'f': <__main__.Foo object at 0x02BF35F0>,
 'pyscripter': <module 'pyscripter' (built-in)>}

>>> class Foo:
...     x = 10
...     y = 20
...
>>> vars(Foo)
{'__doc__': None, '__module__': '__main__', 'x': 10, 'y': 20}
