Well, the documentation you pointed to specifies that __getattr__ will be called if __getattribute__ raises an AttributeError, it just doesn't specify that it is done by object.__getattribute__ (which it isn't).
If __getattribute__ raises an exception, it won't get a chance to do anything else, so something outside of __getattribute__ must catch the AttributeError and calling __getattr__. So I think the docs *are* specifying the behaviour here, if only by implication. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
