## Type of changes

- [x] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Documentation / docstrings
- [ ] Tests
- [ ] Other

## Checklist

- [x] I've run the latest [black](https://github.com/psf/black) with default args on new code.
- [x] I've updated CHANGELOG.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md where appropriate.
- [x] I've added tests for new code.
- [x] I accept that @willmcgugan may be pedantic in the code review.

## Description

The "Swig global variables object" has an empty `dir()` (🤷‍♂️) so that attribute access of `.__class__` fails. I'm not sure what else we can do other than patch this particular case by checking for the `__class__` attribute.

Fixes #1838
