https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#attribute-references __getattr__ is the correct method to override in most (but not all) cases. I don't think we should encourage people to override __getattribute__ as the first resort. __getattribute__ is a more specialised method that is used by the interpreter at a deeper level. It is called on every attribute access, so it ought to be as fast as possible, while __getattr__ is only called if the named attribute doesn't exist. I don't think anything needs to change here. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
