A thought on this: to avoid masking bugs, when catching
AttributeError you really need to isolate the getattr
operation so that it's on a line by itself, with no
sub-expressions, i.e.
try:
x = getattr(obj, name)
except AttributeError:
...
else:
...
If you're doing that, I see no significant lack of
readability in the getattr call that needs to be
remedied.
So I'm down to -2 now. :-)
