Getting a list of locally-defined functions in python

Use inspect module:

def is_function_local(object):
    return isinstance(object, types.FunctionType) and object.__module__ == __name__

import sys
print inspect.getmembers(sys.modules[__name__], predicate=is_function_local)

Example:

import inspect
import types
from os.path import join

def square(x):
    return x*x

def cube(x):
    return x**3

def is_local(object):
    return isinstance(object, types.FunctionType) and object.__module__ == __name__

import sys
print [name for name, value in inspect.getmembers(sys.modules[__name__], predicate=is_local)]

prints:

['cube', 'is_local', 'square']

See: no join function imported from os.path.

is_local is here, since it's a function is the current module. You can move it to another module or exclude it manually, or define a lambda instead (as @BartoszKP suggested).

import sys
import inspect
from os.path import join

def square(x):
    return x*x

def cube(x):
    return x**3

print inspect.getmembers(sys.modules[__name__], \
      predicate = lambda f: inspect.isfunction(f) and f.__module__ == __name__)

Prints:

[('cube', <function cube at 0x027BAC70>), ('square', <function square at 0x0272BAB0>)]

l = []
for key, value in locals().items():
    if callable(value) and value.__module__ == __name__:
        l.append(key)
print l

So a file with the content:

from os.path import join

def square(x):
    return x*x

def cube(x):
    return x**3

l = []
for key, value in locals().items():
    if callable(value) and value.__module__ == __name__:
        l.append(key)
print l

Prints:

['square', 'cube']

Local scopes also work:

def square(x):
    return x*x

def encapsulated():
    from os.path import join

    def cube(x):
        return x**3

    l = []
    for key, value in locals().items():
        if callable(value) and value.__module__ == __name__:
            l.append(key)
    print l

encapsulated()

Prints out only:

['cube']

Using Python 3.9.7, When trying the most upvoted answer:

l = []
for key, value in locals().items():
    if callable(value) and value.__module__ == __name__:
        l.append(key)
print(l)

I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Name\Path\filename.py", line X, in for key, value in locals().items(): RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration

Because the answer: locals() prints this:

'test_01': <function test_01 at 0x00000285B0F2F5E0>
'test_02': <function test_02 at 0x00000285B0F2FA60>

I just check if we get the string: "function" in the dictionary.

I used the following code to achieve my needs. Hope maybe this can help.

l = []
copy_dict = dict(locals())
for key, value in copy_dict.items():
    if "function" in str(value):
        l.append(key)
print(l)
