内置的dir会给你所有对象的属性，包括特殊的方法，如__str__， __dict__和一大堆你可能不想要的其他方法。但是你可以这样做:

>>> class Foo(object):
...     bar = 'hello'
...     baz = 'world'
...
>>> f = Foo()
>>> [name for name in dir(f) if not name.startswith('__')]
[ 'bar', 'baz' ]
>>> dict((name, getattr(f, name)) for name in dir(f) if not name.startswith('__')) 
{ 'bar': 'hello', 'baz': 'world' }

所以可以扩展它，只返回数据属性，而不返回方法，通过定义你的props函数:

import inspect

def props(obj):
    pr = {}
    for name in dir(obj):
        value = getattr(obj, name)
        if not name.startswith('__') and not inspect.ismethod(value):
            pr[name] = value
    return pr

Python3.x

return dict((key, value) for key, value in f.__dict__.items() if not callable(value) and not key.startswith('__'))

使用vars(x)而不是x.__dict__实际上更python化。

我给出了两个答案的组合:

dict((key, value) for key, value in f.__dict__.iteritems() 
    if not callable(value) and not key.startswith('__'))

Try:

from pprint import pformat
a_dict = eval(pformat(an_obj))

在2021年，对于嵌套对象/dicts/json使用pydantic BaseModel -将嵌套dicts和嵌套json对象转换为python对象和json，反之亦然:

https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/usage/models/

>>> class Foo(BaseModel):
...     count: int
...     size: float = None
... 
>>> 
>>> class Bar(BaseModel):
...     apple = 'x'
...     banana = 'y'
... 
>>> 
>>> class Spam(BaseModel):
...     foo: Foo
...     bars: List[Bar]
... 
>>> 
>>> m = Spam(foo={'count': 4}, bars=[{'apple': 'x1'}, {'apple': 'x2'}])

对象to dict

>>> print(m.dict())
{'foo': {'count': 4, 'size': None}, 'bars': [{'apple': 'x1', 'banana': 'y'}, {'apple': 'x2', 'banana': 'y'}]}

对象转换为JSON

>>> print(m.json())
{"foo": {"count": 4, "size": null}, "bars": [{"apple": "x1", "banana": "y"}, {"apple": "x2", "banana": "y"}]}

反对的词典

>>> spam = Spam.parse_obj({'foo': {'count': 4, 'size': None}, 'bars': [{'apple': 'x1', 'banana': 'y'}, {'apple': 'x2', 'banana': 'y2'}]})
>>> spam
Spam(foo=Foo(count=4, size=None), bars=[Bar(apple='x1', banana='y'), Bar(apple='x2', banana='y2')])

JSON到对象

>>> spam = Spam.parse_raw('{"foo": {"count": 4, "size": null}, "bars": [{"apple": "x1", "banana": "y"}, {"apple": "x2", "banana": "y"}]}')
>>> spam
Spam(foo=Foo(count=4, size=None), bars=[Bar(apple='x1', banana='y'), Bar(apple='x2', banana='y')])
