Shouldn't it only be catching AttributeError, though?
This has come up before - eg http://www.mail-archive.com/python-3000@python.org/msg11630.html - which itself starts with the words "This issue has been raised before" :) It points at http://bugs.python.org/issue504714 regarding 2.x - however, if you follow that thread above, it seems Guido is against changing this behaviour even for 3k.
cheers,
Mark
