Dataset.__dir__() doesn't list instance methods #95

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
For exploring, it'd be really nice if:

>>> d = dicom.read_file("foo.dcm")
>>> dir(d)

listed methods like data_element() and pixel_array(). Currently, it only lists 
tag names.

Somehow, though, IPython's tab completion finds pixel_array() and other 
methods, despite trait_names() returning dir(). Maybe IPython does its own 
inspection now?

Agreed. I had thought the method names were somehow returned by python. 
Evidently not. But this may differ by python version -- needs a little 
investigation.

One other disturbing finding. Typing something like:
>>>d.data_element
which should return '<bound method...>' instead returns a list of the data 
elements, as if one had type "d". This is also true of inherited methods from 
the parent dict object.
