I don't follow you there - in my mind, the default __getattribute__ could simply have wrapped all its operations inside soem kind of "try..catch AttributeError:" mechanism, and thus been able to fallback to __getattr__ in any way.
But then it would be incorrect to say that "__getattribute__ raises an exception". When we say that a function raises an exception, we normally mean that the exception propagates out of the function and can be seen by the caller, not that it was raised and caught somewhere inside the function. -- 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
