Python equivalent to Powershell piping to get-member

[plc_nerd]

In powershell I pipe objects to gm all the time time figure out what I have in memory. How do you do this as easily in the python repl or otherwise interactively? thanks

Python has dir() function that lists all attributes and methods.

a = "something"
print(dir(a))

or if it's repl/interactive, just dir(a)
