Module in the filesystem has the __class__ dunder

[microbit-carlos]

With a my_module.py file that only contains FOO = 0:

MicroPython 569e361 on 2022-06-20; micro:bit v2.0.0 with nRF52833
Type "help()" for more information.
>>> import my_module
>>> dir(my_module)
['__class__', '__name__', 'FOO']
>>> my_module.__class__
<class 'module'>

I don't think the __class__ attribute here is correct? Trying the same in CPython doesn't have that dunder attribute.

Trying the same in CPython doesn't have that dunder attribute.

CPython does have it, it's just not listed by dir(...). Try my_module.__class__ under CPython and you get the same as MicroPython.

We're curious to know why CPython doesn't show this, but happy to close this as an issue :)

Honestly, I don't know! Maybe it filters out __class__ from dir on modules.
