Well, the proginal message in this thread refers to an item access.
***************
*** 312,318 ****
# Skip directly to item access
o = object[name]
# Check access to the item.
! if not validate(object, object, name, o):
raise Unauthorized, name
object = o
continue
The code above this:
if not name or name[0] == '_':
Checks for empty names or names beginning with underscrores, neither of
which are legal attribite names.
So, this does seem to be about item access.
