body: <p>how can i  get a list of all built-in objects in python recursively?</p>
  
  <p>what i'm exactly searching for is a function like dir() which returns a list of objects instead of strings.</p>
  
  <p>also, why does "dir(__builtins__.print)" fail in python's interactive mode with a syntax error?</p>
  
  <p>thanks for your answers!</p>
