Hi!
I'm still a newbie in looking behind the scene.
When playing around with VPython I encountered the
following:
>>> from visual import *
Visual-2002-06-14
>>> s=3Dsphere() # beautiful white sphere displayed immediately
>>> s
<Primitive object at 0x01563D34>
>>> dir(s)
['__class__', 'axis', 'blue', 'color', 'constr',
'display', 'frame', 'green', 'name', 'pos', 'radius',=20
'red', 'rotate', 'up', 'visible', 'x', 'y', 'z']
>>> s.__methods__
['rotate']
>>> s.__dict__
{'__class__': <built-in method sphere of tuple object at 0x00A65590>}
>>> s.__members__
['axis', 'blue', 'color', 'display', 'frame', 'green',=20
'pos', 'radius', 'red', 'up', 'visible', 'x', 'y', 'z']
>>> s.name
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in ?
s.name
AttributeError: name
>>>=20
So, what are 'name' and 'constr', which both do not appear
neither in s.__members__ nor in s.__dict__ nor in s.__methods__,
but in the list returned by dir(s)?
(Or: what is generally returned by dir() ?)
Perhaps there is somebody who can explain this.=20
Thanks, Gregor
