[New-bugs-announce] [issue33237] Improve AttributeError message for partially initialized module

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

Cyclic import usually leads to an AttributeError "module 'spam' has no attribute 'ham'" which usually is confusing because in normal case 'spam.ham' exists, and the user can have no ideas why it is disappeared.

The proposed PR allows to specialize the AttributeError message for partially initialized module. Any suggestions about the error message?
