Georg Brandl added the comment: "Attributes from the metaclass have always been excluded from the dir() of a class."
Be that as it may, I think it is wrong. I can understand excluding methods of the metaclass, but __qualname__ (and friends) are only defined in the metaclass because they are properties and not __dict__ members, but they are regular attributes of the class, not of the metaclass. E.g. why is __module__ in there and not __qualname__? Both are determined dynamically at class creation time. The answer is that it's an implementation detail: there is no tp_module (or ht_module) member in the PyHeapTypeObject struct to store it, so it's stored in __dict__, while __qualname__ is stored in a struct member. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22790> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
