delegates attribute access from the instance delegator to the instance
delegee for the attributes given in attributes (or for all attributes
of delegator, determined with the builtin dir function, if no
attribute names are passed). Use at your own risk ;-)
attempts to determine the name of the module in which the object object
is defined.
This works for code objects, user-defined functions and methods, instances
with a __call__ method, and classes; for all other object types, the
function returns None.
load the module given by fileName with the imp hooks.
fileName can either be a full path name or a base name without
path information; in the latter case, a list of search paths can
be passed in fileDirL.
If className contains a dot, calls resolve_module on the module prefix
with globalNameSpace and localNameSpace as arguments and then returns
the class as the module`s attribute. Otherwise, className is looked up
in globalNameSpace, which defaults to the builtin globals.
sets all key:value pairs given in slotValueD as attributes of instance.
Checks first if any of the keys in slotValueD is _not_ a slot of
instance, in which case a ValueError is raised.
