Yes, I just noticed this too. When I did a cvs update, I saw no changes to the distutils tree, but these changes could be relevant: P Objects/dictobject.c P Objects/floatobject.c P Objects/intobject.c P Objects/longobject.c P Python/bltinmodule.c All of these from Tim's checkins, and Tim can't build on Unix to test this. I'll try to look into this later, but not right away -- it's a holiday here. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Unless I miss my bet, Neil fixed this now, and it was due to that dir(instance) now returns the attributes of instance.__class__ in addition to the keys in instance.__dict__. Most relevant here, that means dir(instance) now contains '__doc__' (really an attribute of its class) but didn't before (and dist starting synthesizing a non-existent "get"+"__doc__" method name as a consequence).
