This change adds the
__dir__magic method to theRESTObjectclass in order to expose and allow introspection on the attributes that the object might have.This is very useful to me when exploring the API in an interactive console.
Normally I'll call
dir(obj)(orobj?in iPython shell) to try to discover what methods and attributes exist for the object. However, the attributes in the.attributesproperty are not currently exposed, requiring the extra step of checking.attributeson each object I explore this way.Hope this makes sense and that this change, if accepted, will help others.
