Georg Brandl added the comment:

However, it may not be possible to change this for backward compatibility 
reasons.  People shouldn't be using dir() for determining attributes and the 
like, but they do, as documented by the multiprocessing module in the stdlib.

This should at least be noted more explicitly in the docs for dir().
