That works fine for me with Python 2.4.

This is the best way to do it:

def list_members(obj):
     return [getattr(obj, name) for name in dir(obj)]

Although personally I would prefer to have this information in dict 
form, so i'd use:

return dict((name, getattr(obj, name)) for name in dir(obj))

For objects defined in CPython, you can use obj.__dict__, but this is 
somewhat hacky, and I'd avoid it.
