Josh Rosenberg added the comment: Could that perhaps be intentional? Attribute access seems like something where the developer would be explicitly naming a single, hard coded, canonical name for the type, while string construction seems like something where you're getting a string from "somewhere" (user input, which is always terrible) and you'd want to have a way to handle invalid input.
The documentation is so sparse as to be useless for determining intent: _missing_ – a lookup function used when a value is not found; may be overridden I wouldn't view Label.redapple as an attempt to "find" anything, it's just simple attribute access. ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29752> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
