[Paraview] Python Info Seems Wrong

The book strongly suggests using "dir" and "help" to learn about the Python
options.The "help" command says
"Please note that some of the methods accessible
through the Proxy class are not listed by help()
because the Proxy objects forward unresolved
attributes to the underlying object.To get the
full list, see also dir(proxy.SMProxy)."
So I used pvpython from 3.2.1 on CentOS 5 to run the following to see the full
list:
===
from paraview import servermanager
servermanager.Connect()
implFuncModule = servermanager._createModule( "implicit_functions" )
cutF = implFuncModule.Plane()
print dir(cutF.SMProxy)
help(cutF)
===
"dir" does not list any routines for getting or setting "Normal". I expected a
"GetNormal" since there is a "GetOrigin".
Both "dir" and "help" describe "Offset" which doesn't exist in vtkPlane! That
is, according to the documentation for the C++ class vtkPlane generate by
Doxygen when I compliled from source.
Any ideas what is going on?
TIA!
