57 | 3.3.2.1 More attribute access for new-style classes | |
58 | </H3> | |
59 | ||
60 | <P> | |
61 | The following methods only apply to new-style classes. | |
62 | ||
63 | <P> | |
64 | <dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline"> | |
65 | <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-213' xml:id='l2h-213' class="method">__getattribute__</tt></b>(</nobr></td> | |
66 | <td><var>self, name</var>)</td></tr></table></dt> | |
67 | <dd> | |
68 | Called unconditionally to implement attribute accesses for instances | |
69 | of the class. If the class also defines <tt class="method">__getattr__()</tt>, the latter | |
70 | will not be called unless <tt class="method">__getattribute__()</tt> either calls it | |
71 | explicitly or raises an <tt class="exception">AttributeError</tt>. | |
72 | This method should return the (computed) attribute | |
73 | value or raise an <tt class="exception">AttributeError</tt> exception. | |
74 | In order to avoid infinite recursion in this method, its | |
75 | implementation should always call the base class method with the same | |
76 | name to access any attributes it needs, for example, | |
77 | "<tt class="samp">object.__getattribute__(self, name)</tt>". | |
