Please describe the problem:
This may be a user error, but something funny is going on here. Using the dump() function on an object such as a GUI button returns a list of functions - some of which are not executable for the button. Corresponding dir(Button) output does not include these function names.

For example, selecting the 'Open' button in gedit returns a list of these functions:

 press
 release
 click

But, dir (Button) does not return press or release. This seems broken - shouldn't the press/release functions always be available for a button?


Steps to reproduce:
Here's a series of commands entered into the Python interpreter that recreate the problem:

>>> gedit = tree.root.application ('gedit')
>>> theButton = gedit.button('Open')
>>> dir (theButton)
['_Node__accessible', '_Node__action', '_Node__component', '_Node__hideChildren', '_Node__nodeIsIdentifiable', '_Node__text', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'addSelection', 'blink', 'button', 'child', 'childLabelled', 'childNamed', 'click', 'contained', 'debugName', 'doAction', 'dump', 'findAncestor', 'findChild', 'findChildren', 'getAbsoluteSearchPath', 'getLogString', 'getNSelections', 'getRelativeSearch', 'getUserVisibleStrings', 'grabFocus', 'menu', 'menuItem', 'rawClick', 'rawType', 'removeSelection', 'satisfies', 'setSelection', 'tab', 'textentry', 'typeText']
>>> theButton.dump()
{"Open" button}
 press
 release
 click
>>> theButton.click()
click on {"Open" button}
1
>>> theButton.press()

Does this happen every time?
