assuma este código:

>>> iterator=filter(lambda x: x % 3 == 0, [2, 18, 9, 22, 17, 24, 8, 12, 27])
>>> x=int()
>>> locals()
{'__package__': None, '__spec__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>, '__name__': '__main__', '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, 'iterator': <filter object at 0x02E732B0>, 'x': 0, '__doc__': None}
>>> globals()
{'__package__': None, '__spec__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>, '__name__': '__main__', '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, 'iterator': <filter object at 0x02E732B0>, 'x': 0, '__doc__': None}
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__', 'iterator', 'x']
>>> 

Qual é a diferença entre locals, globals e dir? e qual é o uso?
