An implementation quirk. If dir() doesn't reveal an object's
methods, add ".__class__" to get a closer look.
For example:
>>> dir("".__class__)
['__add__', '__cmp__', '__complex__', '__contains__', '__len__',
'__mod__', '__repr__', '__str__', 'alnum', 'alpha', 'capitalize',
'center', 'classDictInit', 'count', 'decimal', 'digit', 'encode',
'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'index','isalnum', 'isalpha',
'isdecimal', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isnumeric', 'isspace', 'istitle',
'isunicode', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'numeric',
'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rstrip', 'space', 'split',
'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate',
'unicode', 'upper', 'zfill']
