I didn't even realize this had been added to getattr()! CVS reveals it was added b/w 1.5.1 and 1.5.2a1, so maybe I just missed the checkin message. Fred, the built-in-funcs doc needs updating: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html FWIW, the CVS log message says this feature is experimental too. :) -Barry
