Brian Curtin <cur...@acm.org> added the comment:
The 3.x documentation[1] has this:
"object does not have a __dict__, so you can’t assign arbitrary attributes to
an instance of the object class."
- 2.x doesn't have that same blurb -- it looks like it should.
AttributeError vs. TypeError seems to be the issue here.
FWIW, the way to achieve what you had in your example is something like this:
>>> a = type("my_type", (object,), {})
>>> a.abc = 3
