Thanks for sharing.

It's an ignorant opinion. vars is a built-in function, just like len, chr, 
map, and many others.

Ignorance is not a sin, but willful ignorance is. I already gave the 
links showing that vars is a built-in function, and you chose to ignore 
them. Here they are again. Please take a few seconds to read at least one 
of them, so that you will be a better programmer in the future and your 
opinion will be less ignorant:

Python 2:
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#vars
 
Python 3:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/functions.html#vars
