A while ago, Guido declared that all special method lookups on new-style classes bypass __getattr__ and __getattribute__. This almost completely consistent now, and I've been working on patching up a few incorrect cases. I've know hit __enter__ and __exit__. The compiler generates LOAD_ATTR instructions for these, so it uses the normal lookup. The only way I can see to fix this is add a new opcode which uses _PyObject_LookupSpecial, but I don't think we really care this much. Opinions?
1.More consistent attribute lookup is, to me, a feature of 3.x and I appreciate you working on this. 2. I am puzzled why those two methods should be extra special, but don't know enough to say more. 3. If there are only those two or a couple of other exceptions, I'd like them listed in the 'Special method lookup' ref doc section.
