Function Details: vars

Description

Returns the __dict__ attribute for a module, class, instance, or any other object with a __dict__ attribute.

Extended Description

The vars() function returns the __dict__ attribute of an object. If no argument is passed, it returns a dictionary representing the current local symbol table. This is equivalent to locals(). If an object is passed as an argument, the object must have a __dict__ attribute, or a TypeError will be raised. vars() is useful for introspection and debugging, allowing you to examine the attributes of an object.
