But would you include changes that are > not backward compatible? Python 2.5 and earlier will just ignore (not use) the __dir__ method. Other than that, the presence of a __dir__ method will not cause problems in Python 2.5 and earlier. To me that seems "backwards compatible", with the caveat that the feature (use of __dir__) is just missing from Python 2.5 and earlier. We could also supply our own pygr.dir() function that would use __dir__() if present on an object, otherwise fall back to regular builtin dir(). -- Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pygr-dev" group.
