When searching for a list of dunder methods, I only found a couple of resources all over the web—each covering only a fraction of dunder methods. So, here’s my collection of 127 dunder methods (also called “magic methods”) from those sources, sorted alphabetically:
__abs__ __add__ __aenter__ __aexit__ __aiter__ __and__ __anext__ __await__ __bool__ __bytes__ __call__ __ceil__ __class__ __class_getitem__ __cmp__ __coerce__ __complex__ __contains__ __del__ __delattr__ __delete__ __delitem__ __delslice__ __dict__ __dir__ __div__ __divmod__ __enter__ __eq__ __exit__ __float__ __floor__ __floordiv__ __format__ __fspath__ __ge__ __get__ __getattr__ __getattribute__ __getitem__ __getnewargs__ __getslice__ __gt__ __hash__ __hex__ __iadd__ __iand__ __idiv__ __ifloordiv__ __ilshift__ __imatmul__ __imod__ __import__ __imul__ __index__ __init__ __init_subclass__ __instancecheck__ __int__ __invert__ __ior__ __ipow__ __irshift__ __isub__ __iter__ __itruediv__ __ixor__ __le__ __len__ __length_hint__ __long__ __lshift__ __lt__ __matmul__ __metaclass__ __missing__ __mod__ __mro__ __mul__ __ne__ __neg__ __new__ __next__ __nonzero__ __oct__ __or__ __pos__ __pow__ __prepare__ __radd__ __rand__ __rcmp__ __rdiv__ __rdivmod__ __reduce__ __reduce_ex__ __repr__ __reversed__ __rfloordiv__ __rlshift__ __rmatmul__ __rmod__ __rmul__ __ror__ __round__ __rpow__ __rrshift__ __rshift__ __rsub__ __rtruediv__ __rxor__ __set__ __set_name__ __setattr__ __setitem__ __setslice__ __sizeof__ __slots__ __str__ __sub__ __subclasscheck__ __subclasses__ __truediv__ __trunc__ __unicode__ __weakref__ __xor__
In case you need them as a Python list for copy&paste, here it is:
['__abs__', '__add__', '__aenter__', '__aexit__', '__aiter__', '__and__', '__anext__', '__await__', '__bool__', '__bytes__', '__call__', '__ceil__', '__class__', '__class_getitem__', '__cmp__', '__coerce__', '__complex__', '__contains__', '__del__', '__delattr__', '__delete__', '__delitem__', '__delslice__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__div__', '__divmod__', '__enter__', '__eq__', '__exit__', '__float__', '__floor__', '__floordiv__', '__format__', '__fspath__', '__ge__', '__get__', '__getattr__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__hex__', '__iadd__', '__iand__', '__idiv__', '__ifloordiv__', '__ilshift__', '__imatmul__', '__imod__', '__import__', '__imul__', '__index__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__instancecheck__', '__int__', '__invert__', '__ior__', '__ipow__', '__irshift__', '__isub__', '__iter__', '__itruediv__', '__ixor__', '__le__', '__len__', '__length_hint__', '__long__', '__lshift__', '__lt__', '__matmul__', '__metaclass__', '__missing__', '__mod__', '__mro__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__neg__', '__new__', '__next__', '__nonzero__', '__oct__', '__or__', '__pos__', '__pow__', '__prepare__', '__radd__', '__rand__', '__rcmp__', '__rdiv__', '__rdivmod__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__reversed__', '__rfloordiv__', '__rlshift__', '__rmatmul__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__ror__', '__round__', '__rpow__', '__rrshift__', '__rshift__', '__rsub__', '__rtruediv__', '__rxor__', '__set__', '__set_name__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__setslice__', '__sizeof__', '__slots__', '__str__', '__sub__', '__subclasscheck__', '__subclasses__', '__truediv__', '__trunc__', '__unicode__', '__weakref__', '__xor__']
