pdir2 is a Python library that provides a prettier, colorized, and grouped alternative to the built-in dir() function for inspecting objects. It supports attribute searching and chainable filtering (public, own, methods, properties) and works in REPLs like IPython, ptpython, bpython, and Jupyter.

Use cases

  • pretty print object attributes in python repl
  • search attributes of an object by name
  • filter an object's own public methods
  • replace dir() with a nicer output
  • inspect object attributes in jupyter notebook

When to choose

  • you frequently explore unfamiliar objects interactively in a Python REPL
  • you want grouped, colorized, searchable attribute listings instead of raw dir() output
  • you need chainable filters like public own methods

When to avoid

  • you need programmatic introspection in production code rather than interactive exploration
  • you are not working in Python
