properties - Is there a succint way to get all the desciptors defined in a python class? -

is there simple method finding of descriptors in class type? if have code:

class descriptor(object):      def __init__(self):         self._name = ''      def __get__(self, instance, owner):         print "getting: %s" % self._name         return self._name      def __set__(self, instance, name):         print "setting: %s" % name         self._name = name.title()      def __delete__(self, instance):         print "deleting: %s" %self._name         del self._name  class contrivedexample(object):    name = descriptor()    date = descriptor() 

how find out contrivedexample.name , contrivedexample.date exist outside class?

you can iterate through class' __dict__ property, stores of defined names within class, , check type of value each name.

descriptors = [m m,v in contrivedexample.__dict__.iteritems()                if isinstance(v, descriptor)]  # descriptors set ['name', 'date']
