[issue40098] dir() does not return the list of valid attributes for the object

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

At least for overriding __dict__, I would presume there would be a matching override for __getattribute__ (not __getattr__).

Ditto for __class__, e.g. look at GenericAlias in the pep585 implementation PR. (Here __class__ is not in the list of exceptions so it returns the attribute from list.)
