[issue16938] pydoc confused by __dir__

[Ethan Furman]

Ethan Furman added the comment:

"Crash" is probably too strong.  help() runs, but doesn't return anything useful.

Metaclasses aside, I think the real issue here is objects that don't have __objclass__ defined.  __objclass__ has been around for over a decade (see PEP-0252), and with that `inspect` works fine (aside from metaclasses ;) .
