[Raymond] > That would be a useful invariant. Well, the <== part can't really be guaranteed due to the existence of __getattr__ overriding (and all bets are off if __getattribute__ is overridden!), but apart from those, stripping non-strings in dir() would be a big help towards making the invariant true. So I'm +1 on that. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
