__getattr__, __setattr__

[Thomas Heller]

Just wondering about this behaviour, why is it this way?

Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.Traceback (most recent call last):


Thanks,

Thomas

for new style classes __getattribute__ is defined, see eg.
