There is a syntax mistake in the last line of this code. Could someone fix it please? import string list=[] for s in dir(string): list.append(s) for i in range(len(list)): n=list[i] print (string.str(n))

"String has no attribute named str"

OK. I see. So what you want to print is the values of those objects? Many of them are classes and functions and you could only get meaningless outputs like: <function (or class) XXX at 0xXXXXXX> Well, if you insist: import string for i in dir(string): exec 'print(string.{0})'.format(i) Exec is not safe though. Especially when you use a string inputed from a user. Exec and eval() could run shell commands, so use them carefully.

No need to put everything of dir() into a list. Dir() already made a list for you. It is the same with your list[i]. That is already a string and you don't need to convert it using str() So I would modify your code into: for i in dir(__import__('string')):print(i) One single line is enough :)

I don't want to print only the name of the function, I want to print its value. String has lots of printable elements like ascii_lowercase, ascii_uppercase, ... print(string.ascii_lowercase)
