pynaut 0.2.1

pynaunt allows you to deeply explore and introspect arbitrary python objects.

As an example, we explore the os module just a bit:

>>> from pynaut import Object
>>> import os
>>> obj = Object(os)
>>> len(obj.children)
220
>>> pairs = obj.grep_attr_names('wait')
>>> len(pairs)
12
>>> pairs
[('wait', <Object(<built-in function wait>) >), ('wait4', <Object(<built-in function wait4>) >), ('wait3',
<Object(<built-in function wait3>) >), ('wait', <Object(<built-in function wait>) >), ('wait4', <Object(<built-in
function wait4>) >), ('wait3', <Object(<built-in function wait3>) >), ('waitpid', <Object(<built-in function
waitpid>) >), ('wait', <Object(<built-in function wait>) >), ('wait4', <Object(<built-in function wait4>) >),
('wait3', <Object(<built-in function wait3>) >), ('waitpid', <Object(<built-in function waitpid>) >),
('waitpid', <Object(<built-in function waitpid>)>)]
>>> obj = obj.children['path']
>>> obj = obj.children['os']
>>> list(obj.ancestry)
[<Object(<module 'posixpath' from '/Users/miburr/virtualenv/current/lib/python2.7/posixpath.pyc'>) >,
 <Object(<module 'os' from '/Users/miburr/virtualenv/current/lib/python2.7/os.pyc'>) >]
>>>

Additionally, there is support for searching an entire object tree for a (name, attribute) pair that meets an arbitrary condition.
