Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: So, dir(C) contains '__mro__', but not 'mro'?
I'm -1 on the change. >From https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/functions.html#dir : """ Note Because dir() is supplied primarily as a convenience for use at an interactive prompt, it tries to supply an interesting set of names more than it tries to supply a rigorously or consistently defined set of names, and its detailed behavior may change across releases. For example, metaclass attributes are not in the result list when the argument is a class. """ dir(sys) does not list its __str__ method, even if sys.__str__() works, because returning only the explicit content of the module is more interesting to the user. Likewise, the implementation of dir(__class__) returns the methods and attributes of *instances* because [someone decided that] it's the most relevant info for the user. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22790> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
