__bases__ and several other methods like mro and __subclasses__ are defined on the meta class. dir() doesn't list the attributes of the meta class of a class. >>> class C(object): ... pass ... >>> dir(type(C)) ['__base__', '__bases__', '__basicsize__', '__call__', '__class__', '__cmp__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dictoffset__', '__doc__', '__flags__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__itemsize__', '__module__', '__mro__', '__name__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', '__subclasses__', '__weakrefoffset__', 'mro'] Christian _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
