Python 3.5 (if not earlier) can do most of the heavy lifting for this.
Here's a proof of concept:


import inspect

def expose(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, type):
        cls = obj
    else:
        cls = type(obj)
    attrs = inspect.classify_class_attrs(cls)
    by_class = {}
    for attr in attrs:
        if attr.name.startswith('_'):
            continue
        by_class.setdefault(attr.defining_class, []).append(attr)
    print("%s object %r" % (type(obj), obj))
    for K in by_class:
        print("Inheriting from: %s" % K)
        for attr in by_class[K]:
            print("    ", attr.name, attr.kind)
