Hmm. If that last line you typed into the interp was, in fact, "b.aa()", then there's nothing new here. The "print" asked for __repr__ and got None. You'll get something very similar in any version of Python.
If you really typed "b.aa", then something's really strange, because you didn't ask to call anything, yet B's __getattr__ was asked for "__repr__", not "aa". Since I doubt Guido has adopted VB's call-with-no-args-doesn't-need-parens, I bet you misquoted your session.
No, I have it right. It was my intention to try b.aa. Every Python object has ability to represent itself as string. That is what I wanted here.
