(original) (raw)

What about \_\_getlocalattribute\_\_ or \_\_getattributenorecurse\_\_? Long, but this isn't going to be used often.

Putting "type" or "class" in the name would be misleading. It's an instance method (that is most useful when implemented on a metaclass).

(Apologies for the top post.)

How about \_\_typelookup\_\_ ? Surely that's the obvious name to derive from
\_PyType\_Lookup :-)
