Yes, but dir() isn't what you need; that just returns a list of the
object's methods and attributes.  You have to access it like a list:

>>> t.items()
<BTreeItems object at 0x82d9478>
>>> len(t)
136
>>> t[0]
('aluminumalbulk', <Material at 82e53f0>)
>>> t[1]
('aluminumalfilm', <Material at 82db338>)

Or loop over it with a 'for' loop.  I have often wished the repr() of
a BTreeItems was a bit more helpful, but it's a trivial issue.
