How is this not more well known? I thought I was a god for discovering dir() but you’re showing that I was nothing but a peon!!!



There's a bunch of "all dunder properties" pages online, any one of them is well worth reading through at least once. So much hidden goodness.


The actual docs on python.org are quite readable and probably a lot more accurate than random blogspam / LLM glurge pages


Why would you assume it's LLM slop when Python's been around for decades? Lots of folks are enthusiastic enough about "Python magic" to have done excellent writeups of literally ever dunder function under the sun on a single page, at a level of detail and excellence that the python documentation, bless its heart, cannot ever hope to match.

- The python docs are there to give you the information you need.

- Passion pages are there to do a deep dive into all the crazy shit you can do with that information =D
