Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my Zpydoc product to Python 2.3.2 from 2.1.3 and
have come across a confusing situation in regard to the
inspect.getmembers function.
This function uses the builtin dir() function to get a list of an
objects attributes. For Zope products, I am getting a situation where
returned attributes are not found in the object - explicitly __call__,
__delattr__, etc etc.
I suspect this has something to do with python 2.2 class changes, and
issues with ExtensionClass not behaving like a first class Python
object. If someone can give me a complete explaination, I can decide
upon appropriate behaviour..
In addition, there's a caveat upon the dir() function:
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.
While this is fine for dir(), surely we do expect consistency across
releases for inspect.getmembers....
