The full signature is:
edir([object [, glob=''] [, dunders=True] [, meta=False]])
All four arguments are optional, and dunders and meta are keyword-only. It
is intended to work with Python 2.4 or better. It may not work in Jython on
IronPython, depending on whether or not sys._getframe is supported.
The glob argument is the most interesting, in my opinion. If you give a
non-empty glob, only names matching that glob are returned:
py> dir('', 'is*')
['isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper']
If the glob contains no metacharacters, a plain substring match is done:
py> dir('', 'up')
['isupper', 'upper']
Matches are case-insensitive by default, but can be made case-sensitive by
using a prefix "=". To invert the match (return names which don't match),
use "!" as the prefix. You can use "!=" as a combined prefix.
I haven't yet released this as an independent package as yet, but you can
find it here:
https://code.google.com/p/my-startup-file/
in the "enhanced_dir.py" module.
Consider it beta quality and free for personal use; if anyone wishes a more
formal licence, either wait until I publish it independently, or contact me
off list.
