> The patch is not sufficient - instances may have a class member "__dict__" whilst still having an instance __dict__.
Sure, but I don't think there is a way how you can access the instance
__dict__ in that case inside Python code. At least I can't think of
one.
>Alternatively the "__dict__" property may be provided by a base class and so not available in "type(obj).__dict__" but still be provided by a property.

Why not? ``obj.__dict__`` will fetch the instance dictionary iff there
is no class attribute "__dict__" in any of the base classes. In the
patch,``type.__dict__["__dict__"].__get__()`` is used to get (without
any doubt) the class dictionary. By looking inside that dictionary, we
can now tell whether "__dict__" is overwritten: If it isn't
overwritten, the dictionary either doesn't have a "__dict__" entry at
all or the value is a getset_descriptor. So we just need to iterate
over a type's mro, look inside each entries' dictionary and stop when
a "__dict__" entry is found. |
