[New-bugs-announce] [issue35082] Mock.__dir__ lists deleted attributes

[Mario Corchero]

New submission from Mario Corchero <mariocj89 at gmail.com>:

Calling dir on unittest.mock.Mock will return deleted attributes.

This is a result of the way del is implemented in Mock, which just sets a sentinel in the child mocks, so an AttributeError is raised if the attribute is later accessed.

We can just check for such sentinel in the __dir__ method and not return those.
