module

The name of the module defining the class described by the class descriptor.

name

The name of the class.

super

A list of class descriptors which describe the immediate base classes of the class being described. Classes which are named as superclasses but which are not discoverable by readmodule() are listed as a string with the class name instead of class descriptors.

methods

A dictionary mapping method names to line numbers.

file

Name of the file containing the class statement defining the class.

lineno

The line number of the class statement within the file named by file.
