Micah Friesen <guinnessforbreakf...@gmail.com> added the comment: I ran into this recently, as well, and have lost probably a day's worth of time debugging it. I submit that this is not a feature - I can't imagine a real-world scenario where you actually want to write debuggable code where a descriptor defers to __getattr__ (except perhaps for exception handling, in which case some re-factoring is in order), particularly because descriptors are effectively mix-ins and can be used on multiple classes.
I worked around this by writing an ancestor descriptor that catches AttributeErrors and re-raises them as a user-defined exception. ---------- nosy: +Micah.Friesen _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1615> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
