I could not find such a class in the cookbook. (That's not to say there's not one there that I missed.) Because I think attrview() should happen, I submitted a recipe to the Python Cookbook. While it awaits editor approval, I have it posted at http://www.verylowsodium.com/attrview.py . One possibly controversial design choice here: since there is no guaranteed way to enumerate attributes in the face of __getattr__ and friends, my version of attrview() does not provide iteration or any other operation that assumes object attributes can be enumerated. Therefore, it technically does not implement a mapping. Once Python grows a __dir__ special method, it's possible I could be convinced this is the wrong choice, but I'm not sure of that.
