[New-bugs-announce] [issue3716] mistake in 3.4.2 Customizing attribute access

[Alex7564]

New submission from Alex7564 <noname9968 at gmail.com>:

"Note that if the attribute is found through the normal mechanism,
__getattr__() is not called."
"...because otherwise __setattr__() would have no way to access other
attributes of the instance."

I think it should be __getattr__() instead of __setattr__()
