Hi, How can I get *all* the names of an object's attributes? I have legacy code with mixed new style classes and old style classes and I need to write methods which deal with both. That's the immediate problem, but I'm always running into the need to understand how objects are linked, in particular when in pdb. The answers one always sees on StackOverflow is that you don't need to understand, understanding is not the pythonic way to do things.
Alternatively, is there are map documented somewhere - more complete than python/python-2.7.3-docs-html/library/stdtypes.html? highlight=class#special-attributes Or, is the code available uncompiled somewhere on my machine? Does anyone know *why* the __members__ method was deprecated, to be replaced by dir(), which doesn't tell the truth (if only it took an optional parameter to say: "be truthful") cts -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
