Since object.__getattribute__ is the hook that implements the entire attribute lookup protocol, *all* attributes are technically retrieved via __getattribute__ (which is why overriding it correctly can be such a PITA). That's also the hook type() overrides to make class attribute lookup differ from ordinary instance lookup.
