I got one for ya. 

I read some where that when the dir( ) has a lot of stuff in it, it is
convenient to use a for loop to see the contents. (example follows) 
Now the reason for my 2 cents in this post. 

>>> 

>>> dir( )

['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'pywin']

>>> for d in dir(): print d
... 

__builtins__
__doc__
__name__
pywin

>>> vars( )

{'d': 'pywin', '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, '__name__':
'__main__', 'pywin': <module 'pywin' from
'C:\PYTHON22\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\__init__.pyc'>, '__doc__': None}

>>> for v in vars(): print v
... 

d   ### prints the first variable I declared in the first for loop then        
   

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration

     ### opps no v in the dir( ) so...
>>> for v in vars(): print v
... 

d
v
__builtins__
__name__
pywin
__doc__

>>>

You can see that you can print the same kind of display for vars( ) as you can
for the dir( ), so long as your iterater variable is declared previous to the
for loop.
