+ 'Special names "__getattr__" and "__dir__" can be also '
+ 'used to\n'
+ 'customize access to module attributes. The "__getattr__" '
+ 'function at\n'
+ 'the module level should accept one argument which is the '
+ 'name of an\n'
+ 'attribute and return the computed value or raise an '
+ '"AttributeError".\n'
+ 'If an attribute is not found on a module object through '
+ 'the normal\n'
+ 'lookup, i.e. "object.__getattribute__()", then '
+ '"__getattr__" is\n'
+ 'searched in the module "__dict__" before raising an '
+ '"AttributeError".\n'
+ 'If found, it is called with the attribute name and the '
+ 'result is\n'
+ 'returned.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'The "__dir__" function should accept no arguments, and '
+ 'return a list\n'
+ 'of strings that represents the names accessible on '
+ 'module. If present,\n'
+ 'this function overrides the standard "dir()" search on a '
+ 'module.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'For a more fine grained customization of the module '
+ 'behavior (setting\n'
+ 'attributes, properties, etc.), one can set the '
+ '"__class__" attribute\n'
+ 'of a module object to a subclass of "types.ModuleType". '
+ 'For example:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' import sys\n'
+ ' from types import ModuleType\n'

+ ' class VerboseModule(ModuleType):\n'

-The Python pickler with protocol 4 now dumps each frame content as a

-Fix ctypes.util.find_library() for AIX
-by implementing ctypes._aix.find_library()
-Patch by: Michael Felt aka aixtools
-
-ctypes.util.find_library has always returned None on a standard AIX.
-With this patch there is support for both AIX and svr4 shared libraries.
-None is returned only when there is nothinbg found. Normal behavior is now:
-on AIX find_library("FOO") returns either libFOO.a(libFOO.so) or libFOO.so
-while legacy names e.g., find_library("c") returns libc.a(shr.o)
-or libc.a(shr_64.o) - depending on 32 or 64-bit operations.
-Include RTLD_MEMBER to mode to support AIX legacy library(member) names
-(Modules/_ctype/posixmodule.c), ctypes/__init__.py and configure.ac)
