Sounds ok to me.

The only question is where to apply the patch:
1. in hasattr()
2. in PyObject_GetAttr()

I'd opt for using the second solution (it should allow string
and Unicode objects as attribute name). hasattr() would then
have to be changed to use the "O" parser marker.

What do you think ?
