Hi everyone, If this should be asked in learn python I apologize -- please just tell me without answering.
I'm working on a large class architecture and I find myself often overloading __getattr__. I am continuously running into the issue where I want __getattr__ to have access to the error that was raised in __getattribute__, but it seems completely unavailable. Is that true? One simple case that I'm guessing others have run into, is if __getattr__ fails, the error from __getattribute__ isn't in the stack trace that gets printed to screen. To fix this (on occasion) I'll even re-call __getattribute__ within __getattr__ just to get the error so I can properly "raise from" the __getattibute__'s error -- although that's probably bad practice in general. I'd like to be able to access the error that was raised in __getattribute__ when __getattr__ is called. Two more quick context comments: python is awesome, thank you all for your hard work; and I've been writing python almost every day for ~ 5 years now and I can do all the "black magic" jazz, so I'll be okay with an implementation that requires that type of stuff if necessary. Thanks! Jason
