This may not be relevant to your needs, but a class's __dict__ only has
references to the attributes actually declared in the class; it doesn't have
inherited attributes.  If you need access to all the attributes of a class, use
PyObject_Dir(aClass), which returns a list of all attribute names declared in
the class and it's superclasses (it's the C equivalent of the dir builtin).  You
can then use PyObject_GetAttr(aClass, attrname) to fetch the attributes
themselves.
