Basically I want to do something like was demonstrated (using python 2.1, Zope 2.5.1), but to call the 'default' __getattr__ subsequently so that I can put in my own handlers, before looking for 'standard' attrs present on this object through the normal __getattr__ method :
There is no "default" or "normal" __getattr__. __getattr__ is defined only when you need "abnormal" ways of getting an attribute.
If I try a similar thing to this, I always end up getting the 'old' one being defined as just the 'raise' statement.
Thats because ObjectManager doesn't have a __getattr__ . The good thing with this is that you don't have to bother about calling the normal __getattr__. You only need to implement __getattr__ if you want data that isn't attributes and has names that are only defined in runtime, to look like they are attributes.
