New issue 2095: type(obj) should not call obj's metaclass's __getattribute__ https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2095/type-obj-should-not-call-objs-me... kmod: Not really sure what's going on here, but this code produces different output between CPython (2.7.6) and PyPy (2.6.0): ``` class M(type): def __getattribute__(self, attr): print "getattribute", attr raise Exception() class C(object): __metaclass__ = M c = C() print type(c) ``` PyPy calls `__getattribute__("__class__")` but cpython does not. Not sure why the exception doesn't get propagated or the return value (if one was generated) gets ignored.
