The C code:
dir_result = PyObject_CallMethod(base_type, "__dir__", "O", self);
is roughly equivalent to the Python code:
dir_result = BaseType.__dir__(self)
That is, it's calling the base type's __dir__ method, but it's still
using the subclass *instance*.
It's the same pattern people use to call a base type's __getattr__ or
__getattribute__ for the subclass implementation of those methods,
just without multiple inheritance support (since calling super() from
C is painful).
Cheers,
Nick.
