Since object.__getattribute__ is the hook that implements the entire attribute lookup protocol, *all* attributes are technically retrieved via __getattribute__ (which is why overriding it correctly can be such a PITA). That's also the hook type() overrides to make class attribute lookup differ from ordinary instance lookup. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
