Getting field name and alias list from data set?

Question

Is there a script that will dump the field names along with the field alias. I'm looking to get something like the following dumped for a data set.

Field, Alias

TOTPOP_CY, 2015 Total Population

HHPOP_CY, 2015 Population in Households

for f in arcpy.Describe(<TheFeatureClass>).fields:
   if f.name == TheFieldName:
   FIELD_ALIAS = f.aliasName

# This is essentially the line you'll need [(f.name, f.aliasName) for f in arcpy.Describe(<PathToTable>).fields] # This is an example of a way to use it import arcpy print("Name,Alias") for item in [(f.name, f.aliasName) for f in arcpy.Describe(<PathToTable>).fields]: print(",".join(item)) """ The above section would output something like Name,Alias OBJECTID,OBJECTID Shape,Shape AREANAME,AREA NAME POP2000, POP 2000 """‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You can also use ListFields to access the fields.
