Weird behavior on __dict__ attr

Show all headers | View raw

Hi.

My context is a little hard to reproduce.

NS3 is a network simulation tool written in C++. I am using its Python binding.

So the class I am dealing with is from a .so file.

Say, I do the following:

%

import ns.network.Node as Node

# Node is a class
# it has a __dict__ attr

# Now I instantiate an instance of Node
n = Node()

# I checked, there is no __dict__ on 'n'
# but the following succeeds.

n.foobar = 3



My understanding is the foobar is stored in n.__dict__, but seemingly n has no __dict__.

So where does the foobar go?


TIA.
