Why is it getattr(object, item) rather then object.getattr(item)?
It's part of the design philosophy of Python that the
namespace of a new user-defined class should as far as
possible start off as a "blank slate", not cluttered
up with a bunch of predefined names. So, very general
things like getattr() that apply to any object are
implemented as functions that operate on an object,
rather than methods.
