[New-bugs-announce] [issue15885] @staticmethod __getattr__ doesn't work

[Albert Zeyer]

New submission from Albert Zeyer:

Code:

```
class Wrapper:
        @staticmethod
        def __getattr__(item):
                return repr(item) # dummy

a = Wrapper()
print(a.foo)
```

Expected output: 'foo'

Actual output with Python 2.7:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_staticmethodattr.py", line 7, in <module>
    print(a.foo)
TypeError: 'staticmethod' object is not callable

Python 3.2 does return the expected ('foo').
PyPy returns the expected 'foo'.
