What about __getlocalattribute__ or __getattributenorecurse__? Long, but this isn't going to be used often.

Putting "type" or "class" in the name would be misleading. It's an instance method (that is most useful when implemented on a metaclass).

(Apologies for the top post.)

How about __typelookup__ ? Surely that's the obvious name to derive from
_PyType_Lookup :-)
