The chaining part, or the idea at all?

Sorry, I didn't even see the chaining idea, so it was the keyword attribute instead of two different functions I disliked. The chaining idea seems unnecessary, you can do this with a general currying facility. (I'm not so keen on copying too many such ideas from Zope in to Python -- together they feel more like a bag of clever tricks than like a well-thought-out language.)

Anyway, it's all moot -- Raymond just added operator.itemgetter and operator.attrgetter.
