So just for completeness sake, what Thomas probably wants is the following:

from types import MethodType

def attributes(obj):
    return [attr for attr in dir(obj)
     if not attr.startswith('__')
     and not isinstance(getattr(obj, attr), MethodType)]

# Example:

class Parrot(object):
     ATTR = None
     join = ''.join # callable, but not a method of Parrot
     def aMethod(self):
         return ATTR

print attributes(Parrot)

# this gives: ['ATTR', 'join']
