@ -1682,25 +1682,8 @@ and user-defined functions. Both support the same operation (to call
the function), but the implementation is different, hence the
different object types.
The implementation adds two special read-only attributes:
\code{\var{f}.func_code} is a function's \dfn{code
object}\obindex{code} (see below) and \code{\var{f}.func_globals} is
the dictionary used as the function's global namespace (this is the
same as \code{\var{m}.__dict__} where \var{m} is the module in which
the function \var{f} was defined).
Function objects also support getting and setting arbitrary
attributes, which can be used, for example, to attach metadata to
functions. Regular attribute dot-notation is used to get and set such
attributes. \emph{Note that the current implementation only supports
function attributes on user-defined functions. Function attributes on
built-in functions may be supported in the future.}
Functions have another special attribute \code{\var{f}.__dict__}
(a.k.a. \code{\var{f}.func_dict}) which contains the namespace used to
support function attributes. \code{__dict__} and \code{func_dict} can
be accessed directly or set to a dictionary object. A function's
dictionary cannot be deleted.
See the \citetitle[../ref/ref.html]{Python Reference Manual} for more
information.
