I would still have a look at that p.__dict__[d] syntax. I've never
used it, but looking it up, it appears to work slightly different for
class variables and instance variables. Perhaps that's what the
problem is here.
You could try and replace p.__dict__[d] with p.__getattribute__(d).
See what that gives you. You'll have to ask other people what is
better, although I prefer the latter.
Then again, as said, I would take a completely other approach to the
problem in the first place, but I guess that's not where the book is
at this moment.
Btw, what did you change to details4? It looks exactly the same to me,
other than an extra space between the two keywords.
