Yes ;-)

How about this?:  (paste it into your console)

#---------------------
import sys
class EDir:
     long = False
     def __call__(self, obj=None):
         if obj == None:
             d = sys._getframe(1).f_locals
         else:
             d = dir(obj)
         return [x for x in d if self.long or not x.startswith("_")]


edir = EDir()

edir()

edir(edir)

edir.long = True
edir(edir)

edir.long = False
edir(edir)
#----------------------


I didn't test how that works from other modules or in nested scopes.  Also 
replacing None with a unique sentinel object may be better so dir(None) 
will work.

Cheers,
