Yes, I don't like the 'local' prefix too. How about 'dictlookup'? It's just more self-describing.

Is 'locallookup' a really good name? In Python, local -- especially in context of lookups -- usually associates with locals() i.e. a namespace of a function/method execution frame or a namespace of a class, during definition of that class... So 'locallookup' can be confusing.
Why not just 'getclassattribute' or 'classlookup', or 'classattribute'...? Cheers. *j
