It seems that the name of the attribute is not made available. You have to
parse the error message or provide the name yourself:
>>> def mygetattr(object, name):
... try:
... return getattr(object, name)
... except AttributeError as err:
... err.name = name
... raise
...
>>> class Product:
... foo = 42
...
>>> fields = "foo,bar"
>>> try:
... fields = [mygetattr(Product, field) for field in fields.split(",")]
... except AttributeError as err:
... print(err)
... print("Missing attribute:", err.name)
...
type object 'Product' has no attribute 'bar'
Missing attribute: bar
Raising a subclass instead of mutating and reraising the original
AttributeError is probably cleaner...
