I meant "normal (attribute lookup)" rather than "(normal attribute) lookup". __getattr__() works the same (I think) when there is no __dict__: >>> class A(object): ... __slots__ = ["foo"] ... def __getattr__(self, name): ... print "looking for", name ... return 42 ... >>> a = A() >>> a.foo looking for foo 42 >>> a.__dict__ looking for __dict__ 42 >>> a.foo = "bar" >>> a.foo 'bar' _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
