For the following example, is there a way to get the type of a and b as int and string?
class test(object):
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.b = "abc"
test_obj = test()
for var in vars(test_obj):
print type(var) # this just returns string type as expected (see explanation below)
You need to iterate on the values, but you are iterating on the keys of vars(test_obj), when you do that, it works.
Also you can get the name of object using value.__class__.__name__
class test(object):
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.b = "abc"
test_obj = test()
print(vars(test_obj))
#Iterate on values
for value in vars(test_obj).values():
#Get name of object
print(value.__class__.__name__)
The output will be
int
str
'int', not the object <class 'int'>
class test(object):
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.b = "abc"
test_obj = test()
for attr, value in test_obj.__dict__.iteritems():
print type(value)
You access the attr as well which will return a and b. value will return the values of the variables.
One example also printing the type:
class test(object):
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.b = "abc"
test_obj = test()
print(vars(test_obj))
# print(dir(test_obj))
#Iterate on values
for k, v in vars(test_obj).items():
print('variable is {0}: and variable value is {1}, of type {2}'.format(k,v, type(v)))
Will provide:
{'a': 1, 'b': 'abc'}
variable is a: and variable value is 1, of type <class 'int'>
variable is b: and variable value is abc, of type <class 'str'>
type(var).__name__vars(test_obj)is a dictionary and sovaris just the variable names'a'and'b'.print(type(getattr(test_obj, var)))
