dir does but you have to use the class not the instance.
You can access the class via the __class__  attribute 
thus:

>>> class C:
...   def __init__(s): s.foo = 42
...   def sayit(s): print s.foo
...
>>> f = C()
>>> dir(f)
['foo']
>>> dir(f.__class__)
['__doc__', '__init__', '__module__', 'sayit']
>>>
