how to list the attributes of a class, not an object?

  once again, probably a trivial question but i googled and didn't
get an obvious solution.  how to list the attributes of a *class*?

  eg., i was playing with dicts and noticed that the type returned by
the keys() method was "dict_keys".  so i'm now curious as to the
attributes of the dict_keys class.  but i don't know how to look at
that without first *creating* such an instance, then asking for
"dir(dk)".

  surely there's a simpler way just using the class name, no?

p.s.  any recommendations for the most concise reference sheet for
python 3 that exists?  being able to print off the entire language
spec on two or four pages and tacking it up in front of me would be
just ducky.  thanks.
