I am afraid we have conflicting viewpoints. You are saying that upgrading 
Python broke code, and I agree it’s a bad thing. Usually such regression 
reports are accepted and fixed.

In this case however, the code was already broken in the previous version, it 
was only working because of a problem in the implementation. So from the 
viewpoint of GI users, it’s a regression, but from the viewpoint of Python the 
2.7 behavior fixes a regression in 2.6. It is not supported to find magic 
methods (“__name__”) on instances.
