How do I access Python's dictionary of all global variables?

I thought that Python has a builtin dictionary that associates
global variable names with their values. I have forgotten how to do this and
I can't seem to come up with the right search keywords to locate this secret
again. I'm trying to write a global dynamic variable debugger sort of thing.
So for example you could have code that looked something akin to this:
>>> x = 5
>>> y = "hello"
>>> z = [1,2,3]
>>> print __VARS__['x'], __VARS__['y'], __VARS__['z']
x hello [1, 2, 3]
Is it possible to iterate through all variables in all scopes in all objects?
Yours,
Noah
