The doc string in the interpreter is correct for 2.2:

>>> print dir.__doc__
dir([object]) -> list of strings

Return an alphabetized list of names comprising (some of) the attributes
of the given object, and of attributes reachable from it:

No argument:  the names in the current scope.
Module object:  the module attributes.
Type or class object:  its attributes, and recursively the attributes of
    its bases.
Otherwise:  its attributes, its class's attributes, and recursively the
    attributes of its class's base classes.

I'll post a bug on SourceForge to correct.

Thanks,
