[New-bugs-announce] [issue24931] _asdict breaks when inheriting from a namedtuple

[Samuel Isaacson]

New submission from Samuel Isaacson:

When inheriting from namedtuples, _asdict and __dict__ return empty dictionaries:

    from collections import namedtuple

    class Point(namedtuple('_Point', ['x', 'y'])):
        pass

    a = Point(3, 4)
    print(a._asdict() == {})

gives False; it is True on Python 2.7.6
