Eric Snow added the comment: Hmm. It's not clear what you're after here. The error from your example code is correct. The valid invocation is:
b.__getattribute__(abs, 'x') That works just fine. If you want to look up *class* attributes then you must call __getattribute__ on the class's class: type(b).__getattribute__(b, 'x') This is how attribute lookup works. I recommend closing this as not-a-bug. If you have further question your best bet is to ask on the python-list mailing list. ---------- nosy: +eric.snow status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28265> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
