Using ipython (which I would highly recommend!) you can use the %whos 'magic' function. This works as follows (with automagic (no % needed) on and pylab imported): In [1]: x = 10 In [2]: y = rand(3) In [3]: z = 'astring' In [4]: whos Variable Type Data/Info ------------------------------- x int 10 y ndarray [ 0.57395635 0.92184657 0.16277339] z str astring In [5]: reset Once deleted, variables cannot be recovered. Proceed (y/[n])? y In [6]: whos Interactive namespace is empty. In [7]: Note: the %reset 'magic' function works like the Matlab clear all command.
