Start with the builtin function dir():

>>> class C(object):
... 	var1 = 3
... 	var2 = 'lifeboat'
... 	def mangle(self, thing):
... 		return thing * self.var1
... 	
>>> dir(C)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__',
'__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__',
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', '__weakref__',
'mangle', 'var1', 'var2']
