[Bug 791221] Re: Nova's test suite fails with python 2.7.2rc1

[Barry Warsaw]

It's almost certainly related to this entry in Misc/NEWS:

- Correct lookup of __dir__ on objects. Among other things, this causes errors
  besides AttributeError found on lookup to be propagated.

and this log entry:


changeset:   70312:b2fc6b9f850f
branch:      2.7
parent:      70304:9d004a9a2ced
user:        Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org>
date:        Mon May 23 16:11:05 2011 -0500
files:       Lib/test/test_descr.py Misc/NEWS Objects/object.c
description:
correctly lookup __dir__


As there's no issue number to link this to the Python tracker, I need to as Benjamin why this change was made and whether it's really appropriate for an rc, let alone a patch release.
