How can I get a list of all public symbols in Python librararies

[Alain Desilets]

I'm developping a tool called VoiceCode, that allows programmers to
dictate code using Dragon Naturally Speaking.

See below for details:

In order to build support for dictation of Python code, I need a list of
all the symbols (functions, methods, classes, variables) defined in the
standard Python libraries. I'm only interested in "public" symbols, i.e.
symbols that are supposed to be used by modules external to the Python
standard libraries.

Any suggestions on what would be the easiest way to get such a list?

Thanks
