Python locals() Function
The locals() function in Python is used to get the current local symbol table in the form of dictionary. For example:
print(locals())
The above program produces the output that looks like:
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x000001CFA47A6D00>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, '__file__': 'C:\\Users\\DEV\\jobails.com\\fresherearth.py', '__cached__': None}
Now if you execute the following code:
v = locals() print(type(v))
then the output would be:
<class 'dict'>
means that the function locals() returns dict type object
Python locals() Function Syntax
The syntax of locals() function in Python is:
locals()
Python locals() Function Example
Here is an example of locals() function in Python. This program prints the name of current Python program source code's file along with complete directory:
x = locals() print("This program's source code file with directory:") print(x["__file__"])
The snapshot given below shows the sample output produced by this program, demonstrating the locals() function:
That is, the above Python program file is saved inside the directory C:\Users\DEV\jobails.com\ with its name as fresherearth.txt. But in your case, the output may be different, if you've different file name and/or directory.
