Dunno; I'll have to leave this one for someone else.

See the Language Reference, section 3.3.2 (Customizing attribute
access):
    __getattr__(self, name)
        Called when an attribute lookup has not found the attribute in the
        usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is it found
        in the class tree for self). [...]

So if self.text_widget has been bound, a reference to it will be
resolved normally, and __getattr__ will not be called.
