vars() will give you a dictionary copy of the local namespace, but modifying it
won't modify the namespace.

globals() will give you the module's namespace as a dictionary which you can modify.

locals() will give you the local namespace (wherever you happen to be), but you
may be restricted from modifying that dictionary in some circumstances.
