Python built in function how to use vars

This article mainly introduces the specific usage of Python built-in function - vars, which is Shared as follows:

English documents:

vars([object])

Return the __dict__ attribute for a module, class, instance, or any other object with a __dict__ 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, 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.

parameter

object object -

The return value

Returns the dictionary object for the properties and property values of the object object, and if there are no arguments, prints the properties and property values similar to locals() for the current invocation position.

instructions

1. When the function does not receive parameters, it returns the local variable in the current scope just like locals function 1.

# No parameter function and locals function 1 sample 
>>> v1 = vars()
>>> l1 = locals()
>>> v1
{'__name__': '__main__', '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, 'v1': {...}, 'l1': {...}, '__spec__': None, '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>}
>>> l1
{'__name__': '__main__', '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, 'v1': {...}, 'l1': {...}, '__spec__': None, '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>}

2. When the function receives 1 argument, the argument can be a module, class, class instance, or an object defining the attribute of SUCCdict__.

This function is a dictionary object that implements the properties and property values of the object object. If no parameters are entered by default, properties and property values for the current call location are printed, equivalent to the functionality of locals(). If you have a parameter input, just print the corresponding property and property value for that parameter.

Example:

#vars() 
 
print(vars()) 
 
class Foo: 
  a = 1 
print(vars(Foo)) 
 
foo = Foo() 
print(vars(foo)) 

The output is as follows:

{'Foo': <class '__main__.Foo'>, 'B': <class '__main__.B'>, '__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__spec__': None,...
{'__module__': '__main__', 'a': 1, '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'Foo' objects>, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Foo' objects>, '__doc__': None}
{}
