At least backward compatibility. Currently a TypeError is raised in such cases, and AttributeError is not a subtype of TypeError. Also, not always any attribute is involved. For example, float() raises a TypeError if __float__() returns not float. And even if some dunder name is involved, rules for resolving special methods and common attributes are different. > I assume you asked this question in relation to the 3.11 changes to `with x:` > raising TypeError vs AttributeError ? No, it is not related. It was a bug to raise AttributeError, now it is fixed, but the fix is not backported for compatibility reasons. > How about `AttributeNotFoundError` or `AttributeRequiredError` ? It would be confused with completely unrelated AttributeError. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/DE45KOKRPMUV7X2IYHKN26YQGNBJJ2OB/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
