Summary: Defining a class with __dict__ brakes attributes assignment
Initial Comment:
When defining a class with __dict__ attribute, its
instances can't rebind their __dict__ attributes.
--------------------------------------------------
class C(object): __dict__ = {}
obj = C()
obj.a = object()
import gc
gc.get_referrers(obj.a) # => [{'a': <object object at
0x811d5b0>}]
obj.__dict__ = {} # doesn't really bind new __dict__
vars(obj) # => {}
object.__getattribute__(obj, '__dict__') # => {}
object.__getattribute__(C, '__dict__') # => {..., but
without "a"}
obj.a # => <object object at 0x811d5b0> (no exception
!)
gc.get_referrers(obj.a) # => [{'a': <object object at
0x811d5b0>, '__dict__': {}}]
--------------------------------------------------
Although neither class nor object has an attribute "a",
it's still accessible. It's also not possible to rebind
__dict__ in that object, as it gets inside real object
attributes dictionary.
This behaviour has been tested on Python 2.2, 2.3 and
2.4, but may as well affect earlier versions.
