With Python 3.7: >>> from enum import Flag >>> import inspect >>> print(inspect.getsource(Flag.__dir__)) def __dir__(self): added_behavior = [ m for cls in self.__class__.mro() for m in cls.__dict__ if m[0] != '_' and m not in self._member_map_ ] return (['__class__', '__doc__', '__module__'] + added_behavior) Looks like everything starting with an underscore (except class, doc, and module) is suppressed, probably to suppress some noise... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
