Well, methods *are* predefined attributes (which just happen to be callable
and bound to the instance).
You can use PyObject_GenericGetAttr like this:
static PyObject *
mytype_getattro(mytypeobject *self, PyObject *name)
{
PyObject *tmp;
if (!(tmp = PyObject_GenericGetAttr((PyObject *)self, name))) {
if (!PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_AttributeError))
return NULL;
PyErr_Clear();
}
else
return tmp;
/* your code */
}
- or -
explicitly define __getattr__ in tp_methods (instead of tp_getattro), which
only gets called on unknown attributes then.
