content of an object in Micropython

Hi everyone,

i have a small question, not a big deal but python2.7 (or python3.4) gives a different result than Micropython.


python3.4
Python 3.4.0 (default, Jun 19 2015, 14:20:21)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux

Code: Select all

class A:
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 10
        self.y = 10

a = A()
dir(a)

and the result

Code: Select all

['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'x', 'y']

I see the my class variables, x and y.

in Micropython
same code ... but the result

Code: Select all

['__init__', '__qualname__', '__module__']

x and y are not listed.

Any idea?
thx

I think this is a feature of MicroPython being "micro". See https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... ifferences from which I quote:

MicroPython supports only minimal subset of introspection and reflection features

So everything is fine. Thank you for the information.
But it's strange that a function in the class is displayed with dir()

Well the function is also shown in CPython. What's missing from MicroPython are a & b.

I suspect that __init__ is being stored in the class object and that a & b are being stored in the instance and that dir isn't looking at the instance (or something like that).
