As I noted on the tracker, PyObject_Dir is a public C API function, so it's
behaviour needs to be preserved as well as the behaviour of calling dir() from
Python code.
So the final form of the patch will likely need to include stronger tests for
that section of the API, as well as updating the documentation in various
places (the dir and PyObject_Dir documentation, obviously, but also the list
of magic methods in the language reference).
+1 on targeting 2.6, too.
Cheers,
Nick.
