Re:See(), an alternative to Python's dir()

ehh, this is just (questionable) formatting. After you use python for a while, the __methods__ should become pretty common-sensical (and seeing the actual __name__ is more useful if you're trying to reimplement protocols common objects support). That and not being able to manipulate the output of see() makes it pretty useless.
I personally like doing things like [f for f in dir(o) if 'foo' in f] etc.

This was only intended as an alternative, not a replacement -- dir() is still extremely useful. see() was made for quickly inspecting objects interactively, hence "for humans only".
