Using help (?) with default_box=True unintentionally adds a key
#236

Ok, I've found a workaround for now - from box import Box
class MyBox(Box):
_protected_keys = dir(Box) + ['getdoc']
def getdoc(self):
return Box.__doc__ |

Box is really useful when accessing non-existing keys/attributes and assigning new keys on them e.g.
box.foo.bar.baz = 1.Noting down here an issue I have found. When IPython's help using
?is called it adds a keygetdocin Box object.Version
python-box v6.1.0
Reproducer
Cause
This seems expected and is a side-effect of this line in IPython which tries a find a custom method
getdoc()to get docstring for an object.Is there a workaround here?
