New submission from Andrew Shuiu <as...@bitdefender.com>:
Interpreter do not fill in __dict__ attribute of a class which has atributes.
dir() shows them, but not __dict__. It works only when attributes are created
dynamically at runtime, such as class.attribute = value, not in class
definition.
Behaviour is the same on py2.6.4 and py3.1.
Python 3.1.1 (r311:74483, Aug 17 2009, 17:02:12) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> class MyClass:
... myattr = 0
...
>>> inst = MyClass()
>>> print(inst.__dict__["myattr"])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'myattr'
>>>
but in this code it works fine:
class MyClass:
myattr = 0
inst = MyClass()
inst.myattr = 1
print(inst.__dict__["myattr"])
So __dict__ do not contain the attributes of an instantiated object, as it
should be, according to documentation.
