where does __class__ come from?

[Adriaan Renting]

I did mean the Language reference. chapter "Special method names". It contains a lot of the funky stuff like __dict__ and __getattr__. There is a little info in chapter 3.2 about __class__ : "__class__ is the instance's class."

>You might find the chapter 3.3 (in my python 2.3.4, it's "Special Method names") in the reference manual useful, it is the only place I have found sofar that describes most of these special methods. It does however not contain __class__. I don't know where in the reference manual to find it's description, probaly in some "Special attribute names" chapter I can't find. 
 
Some of these are in the library reference, but lot's of them are also 
in the language reference - which has bitten me quite a few times, but 
by now I know where to look...
