Hi, a class can have methods, and it can have attributes, which can hold a function. Both is well known, of course.
My question: Is there any difference? The code snipped shows that both do what they should do. But __dict__ includes just the method, while dir detects the method and the attribute holding a function. My be that is the only difference? class MyClass: def __init__(self): functionAttribute = None def method(self): print("I'm a method") def function(): print("I'm a function passed to an attribute") mc = MyClass() mc.functionAttribute = function mc.method() mc.functionAttribute() print('Dict: ', mc.__dict__) # shows functionAttribute but not method print('Dir: ', dir(mc)) # shows both functionAttribute and method By the way: in my usecase I want to pass different functions to different instances of MyClass. It is in the context of a database app where I build Getters for database data and pass one Getter per instance.
