  Thanks for the reply: *but*

  dir(<targetmodule>) will also show globals from other modules imported
  by the target module. So I would need a way to distinguish between
  those imported and those defined in <targetmodule>
  print(dir(targetmodule)) => 
   ['Install', 'TestAddresses', '__builtins__', '__doc__',
   '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'chmod', 'consoleMessage',
   'cp', 'debug', 'erh', 'exists', 'halt', 'is_list', 'load',
   'makePath', 'mkdir', 'process', 'sys', 'traceback', 'usingCgi'] 
   where 'TestAddresses' is a member of an imported module and
   'usingCgi' is the only data variable defined in <targetmodule>
