Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Hmm, that behaviour looks unrelated to the specific problem Michael reported.
The initial problem in this space was that defining __dir__() completely determined the result of dir() calls, but object.__dir__() didn't actually work, so you couldn't easily get the standard list of attributes in order to supplement it. I don't believe there is any reason to have tightened up the type constraints while fixing that - dir() should be returning sorted(obj.__dir__()) and not caring about the exact return type of the magic method. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12248> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
