Jumping right into the code (which should speak for itself):

# -----------------------------------

try:
        # this will fail and be caught
        # below, weeee
        import foobar

except ImportError, error:
        class foobar:
                @staticmethod
                def __getattr__(*args, **kargs):
                        return None

print foobar.bg

# -----------------------------------

This doesn't work and I'm just curious as to why? I can, of course, make
__getattr__ non-static, instantiate a foolbar object, and everything
works; but, the "idea" above seems cleaner and whatnot. :)

Am I misunderstanding something fundamental about the builtin __*
functions? Can they not be "static?"

No rush on this, just curious. I'm using the following in a more general
way, and it works fine for now... :)

# -----------------------------------

try:
        import foobar

except ImportError, error:
        class Foobar:
                def __getattr__(*args, **kargs):
                        return None

        foobar = Foobar()

print foobar.bg

# -----------------------------------
