Hi, Sorry for this newbie question, I was puzzled why the existing property of an object is not shown in the dir() function output.
"v" is an lxml Element object variable -- In [44]: v Out[44]: <Element 'documentProperties' at 0x8363cf8> In [45]: dir(v) Out[45]: ['__copy__', '__deepcopy__', '__reduce__', 'append', 'clear', 'find', 'findall', 'findtext', 'get', 'getchildren', 'getiterator', 'insert', 'items', 'keys', 'makeelement', 'remove', 'set'] dir() output doesn't contain the ".tag", which does exist -- In [46]: v.tag Out[46]: 'documentProperties' what is the rule governing the display of a property from dir()? Many thanks in advance! Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
