[Tutor] Introspection (modules and functions)

[Ewald Ertl]

Hi!

I quick solution for a name module could be:

>>> import os
>>> for d in os.__dict__:
...     a="os." + d
...     if callable( eval(a) ):
...             print "Callable %s" % ( eval(a))

but there should also be a recipe on activestate for that problem.
I think I've red something in the Python Cookbook

HTH,
Ewald
