How to print declared static varibales of the class in python

Question

Below is the simple code to fetch instance variable list and its value.

Below code provides output of list instance variables and its value. I required help to find static variables list and its value.

 class Test:
    x = 10
    def __init__(self):
        self.a =10

 t = Test()       
 print("Instance Variables:",t.__dict__)

Actual Results:

 Instance Variables: {'a': 10}

Expected results:

 Instance Variables: {'a': 10}
 Static Variable: {'x':10}

The term 'static' has not got the same meaning in Python as it does in Java or C++. Python's class namespace is just another dictionary namespace just like instances can have a namespace. Functions and integers are just two types of Python objects, you can have any number of types of objects referenced in a class namespace. — Martijn Pieters, Jan 04 '19 at 12:21

Classes have a lot of attributes automatically, but they tend to start with __. So to get the rest, you can use something like:

{k:v for k,v in Test.__dict__.items() if not k.startswith('__') }

Result:

{'x': 10}
