This has been asked multiple times here but I can only find references to dir(), which lists all names in the current scope. This is overkill and I'm looking for a way to ONLY list the objects in the scope that have been generated by the user in this session, instead of all objects / functions available in the environment.

    Take a look at the [second answer on this question](http://stackoverflow.com/a/634581/2588818). I don't think there is a general way to do what you're saying in Python, but some IDEs and iPython (an enhanced REPL) do this. – Two-Bit Alchemist Nov 05 '15 at 16:32

In case anyone else ever reads this: whos is as close as I could get. It displays a list of user-generated variables and modules imported, and displays a few attributes too. Not as clean as ls() in R but some people might find this useful. Works better than dir() for sure.
