Summary: dir() docs show incorrect output

Initial Comment:
on the web at http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html

under "6.3 The dir() Function",
the following text reports incorrectly what the dir()
call would return:

  >>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  >>> import fibo, sys
  >>> fib = fibo.fib
  >>> dir()
  ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
'fib', 'fib2']

it should have 'a' and 'fibo',
but not 'fib2'.

Fixed in rev 1.270 of Doc/tut.tex.

Thanks for the report!

A minor nit.
> it should have 'a' and 'fibo',
'sys' is also missing from the list.

>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'a', 'fib', 'fibo', '
sys']
