So can anyone explain me how to look into object's dict? As I have wrote, "something in dir(...)" requires O(numOfFields) while I would like to use o(log(n)) >How about using a property instead of the __getattr__() hook? A property is a >computed attribute that (among other things) plays much nicer with hasattr. Could anyone provide an example of it to be implemented, taking into account that a user can manually set "myObject.size" to an integer value? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
