Get list of callables defined in class

Question

If I have a class, how can I get a list of functions, methods and other callables defined in this class (so nothing inherited from object, etc.)?

I have seen this question, but it requires me to first get a complete list of attributes and then call this method for each callable and compare classes.

Is there a more simple solution?

The special attribute __dict__ contains all members attributes defined in a class. It may not exists for objects where the class defined a __slots__ attribute, but I have never seen a metaclass (the class of class objects) defining it.

You can then use inspect.isfunction to know where an attribute is callable.

As mentioned in the above answer, you can either use dir(yourClass) or you can use use help(yourClass).

It would return all callables, not only those defined in the class itself – rfg Mar 28 '19 at 13:38
