Get class and object attributes of class without methods and builtins

Question

Say I have this class:

class MyClass(object):
  my_attrib = 'foo'
  my_other_attrib = 'bar'

  def mymethod():
    pass

Now how can I get ONLY the attributes of the class MyClass, WITHOUT methods and builtins like __dict__ and so on?

I want to get a dictionary like {'my_attrib':'foo', 'my_other_attrib':'bar'}, when applied to the class above.

Answer 1

You can filter out everything you don't need from __dict__:

def getAttributes(clazz):
    return {name: attr for name, attr in clazz.__dict__.items()
            if not name.startswith("__") 
            and not callable(attr)
            and not type(attr) is staticmethod}

Edit: An alternative that behaves slightly differently for class properties and descriptors:

def getAttributes2(clazz):
    attrs = {}
    for name in vars(clazz):
        if name.startswith("__"):
            continue
        attr = getattr(clazz, name)
        if callable(attr):
            continue
        attrs[name] = attr
    return attrs

(In practice, this should be rarely different from the first version.)
