Not much. From https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#vars

vars([object])
 Return the __dict__ attribute for a module, class, instance, or any 
other object with a __dict__ attribute.
 Objects such as modules and instances have an updateable __dict__ 
attribute; however, other objects may have write restrictions on their 
__dict__ attributes (for example, classes use a dictproxy to prevent 
direct dictionary updates).
 Without an argument, vars() acts like locals(). Note, the locals 
dictionary is only useful for reads since updates to the locals 
dictionary are ignored.
