[Python-Dev] Attribute error: providing type name

[Filip Gruszczyński]

I have done some testing and it seems, that it might not be Python
problem. Well, when I use only pure Python objects, I get really nice
description of the object (which means the type). But I am using PyQt
and it seems, that when an object is subclassing QObject (or possibly
some other class from qt, that can be not derived from QObject) it can
only display information about the name of the function. PyQt are
python bindings for C++ qt library. Can this be the reason for not
displaying type of the object?
