So, the dir function is a little more helpful than I thaught. I
checked instance.__dict__ now instead of dir(instance). No methods.
It's getting clearer. Thank you.
I think you've provided me with a good reason for class instances to
delegate attribute references to the class if class instance doesn't
contain the attribute. Diez, Gary, Bruno; Thanks for your help.
