Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

The current glossary entry is fine and encompasses was is ordinarily meant by 
attribute as distinct from a method.

We sometimes use the term loosely to mean any value whether callable or not.  
And sometimes it is used loosely to mean anything that can be looked up with 
getattr().

Attempts to over-define it will be incorrect for some uses.  Also, it is likely 
to make the glossary entry less understandable.
