Initial Comment:

Section 6.3

It has the example:
Without arguments, dir() lists the names you have
defined currently:

>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> import fibo, sys
>>> fib = fibo.fib
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
'fib', 'fib2']

These results for dir() are not correct (for example a
is not listed)
