Merge pull request #937 from minrk/readline...
Merge pull request #937 from minrk/readline Add dirty trick for readline import on OSX to more aggressively detect the presence of libedit masquerading as true GNU readline. Also made the libedit warning extremely loud, so people don't miss it. See the original PR page for the gory details; short version: 1. remove lib-dynload from sys.path before trying to import readline the first time 2. after import, restore lib-dynload to its place in sys.path 3. if import failed without lib-dynload, try it one more time, to get the default module

"""dir2(obj) -> list of strings
Extended version of the Python builtin dir(), which does a few extra
checks, and supports common objects with unusual internals that confuse
dir(), such as Traits and PyCrust.
This version is guaranteed to return only a list of true strings, whereas
dir() returns anything that objects inject into themselves, even if they
are later not really valid for attribute access (many extension libraries
have such bugs).
