typo in the documentation or am I stupid?

[Tommy.Ryding]

In the embedding Python manual at Python.org an example is presented
that uses the function:
PyDict_GetAttrString. Is it possible that this is a typo?

I have searched the source code and I can't find it, I have also used
google and I only get 4 hits.

In for example Programming Python another function with similar name is
described: PyObject_GetAttrString. Could that be the one that fit into
the example?

Hopefully someone knows the answer to my question

according to this checkin message ("fix stupid typo"), the answer is yes:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2005-October/047291.html

on the other hand, since the target is a module object, PyObject_GetAttrString
might be a better choice (no time to dig into this right now).
