Hi there,
I'm trying to find information on different ways to traverse an object tree in python. I don't know much about the language in general yet, so any suggestions/techniques would be welcome.
Thanks so much jml

A:
See the inspect module. It has functions for accessing/listing all kinds of object information.

This is inapplicable. OP is really trying to extract data from a deserialized JSON file, not figure out things about strange objects at runtime.

mike; you are right. i found out more from just printing type(someobject["membername"])

Well, who could have known that. The question makes it look like the problem is traversing of unknown objects.

i think the type(myobj.someparam) trick was the most useful to me, as it helps one find out how to address a given portion of an object. this was the most confusing point for me originally; that a single list object (for ex) could contain a number of differing data types.
