This would leave out any attributes of base classes. Not that I asked 
for that functionality in my original post but is there a way to get all 
  attributes qualified by x. ? I see that I could walk the dict of x, 
x.__class__ and x.__class__.__bases__ until I exhaust the tree. But is 
there a built in method for doing this?
