I think what you really want is:
try:
# this will fail and be caught
# below, weeee
import foobar
except ImportError, error:
class foobarclass:
def __getattr__(*args, **kargs):
return None
foobar = foobarclass()
print foobar.bg
foobar in your version is a class. By making it an instance, the __getattr__
method is properly called.
