Python vars() Function

The vars() function in Python is used when we need to find all the __dict__ attributes of an object. For example:

class fresherearth:
    Name = "David"
    Course = "Computer Science"

print(vars(fresherearth))

The output is:

{'__module__': '__main__', 'Name': 'David', 'Course': 'Computer Science', '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'fresherearth' objects>, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'fresherearth' objects>, '__doc__': None}

Note: The __dict__ attribute is a dictionary that contains all the changeable attributes of specified object

Basically the vars() returns a dictionary containing the module's symbol table, that is generated by the compiler from Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), before the bytecode is generated.

Python vars() Function Syntax

The syntax of vars() function in Python, is:

vars(obj)

where obj refers to an object that has __dict__ attribute.

Python vars() Function Example

Here is an example of vars() function in Python:

print("The __dict__ attributes of 'int' object are")
print(vars(int))

print("\nThe __dict__ attributes of 'str' object are")
print(vars(str))

print("\nThe __dict__ attributes of 'list' object are")
print(vars(list))

print("\nThe __dict__ attributes of 'dict' object are")
print(vars(dict))

Following is its sample output is:

The __dict__ attributes of 'int' object are
