>>> camera = pm.ls(type='camera')[0] >>> camera_class = type(camera) >>> camera_superclasses = camera_class.__mro__ >>> print camera_superclasses (<class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.Camera'>, <class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.Shape'>, <class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.DagNode'>, <class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.Entity'>, <class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.ContainerBase'>, <class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.DependNode'>, <class 'pymel.core.general.PyNode'>, <class 'pymel.util.utilitytypes.ProxyUnicode'>, <type 'object'>) # That is why this particular instance has so many members for you to call. >>> dir(camera) ['activeColor', 'addAttr', 'addBookmark', 'addChild', 'addPrefix', 'applyBookmark', 'attr', 'attrDefaults', 'attrInfo', ...
