globals() and locals() return dicts mapping names to objects.
Damn, I totally pulled a ?! on that one. I should have pulled out my Python reference. I was thinking of dir() and thought that these functions were similar. Apologies for that. However, I still do believe that as a general practice (not necessarily a Python one), return types should be the most specific type which will hold the data.
I'm not sure why you think that the globals() and locals() .... You say they should be properties and attributes, but properties of what?
They would be properties of the implicit "main" [function] object.
Sorry again for not checking before opening my "mouth".
