Question

I import a module that only contains several dictionaries. How can I iterate over those?
Something along the lines of

import moduleX as data
for d in data:
    do stuff with d

this obviously does not work as the module is not iterable. is there a way to extract all dicts from module as a collection and iterate through that collection?

My answer:

import moduleX as data

for k, v in data.__dict__.iteritems():
    if isinstance(v, dict) and not k.startswith('_'):
        # do something
        pass
