Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar> added the comment:

The check is made to decide whether the attribute is a method or not 
(because methods get a "(" appended) -- for names that fail to exist, 
one could just omit the "(" and include the name anyway.

rlcompleter does nothing special with __dir__, it always uses dir() 
only.
