[New-bugs-announce] [issue24378] dir(dictobject) returns empty list when __getattribute__ is overriden in the class

[Alka Yadav]

New submission from Alka Yadav:

When __getattribute__ method is overrriden in a class,then in case of calling 
an attribute not in class object should throw KeyError.

But when calling dir on classs object gives an empty list as dir(dictobject) 
calls dictobject.__getattribute__(dir) and it throws KeyError instead of AttributeError in dir annd it returns NULL upstream

So dir source code need to be fixed to catch KeyError appropriately.
