Maximum recursion depth error with getattr

Question

I have this code;

class NumberDescriptor(object):
    def __get__(self, instance, owner):
        name = (hasattr(self, \"name\") and self.name)
        if not n         


        

Answer 1

The getattr() call is calling your __get__.

One way to work around this is to explicitly call through the superclass, object:

object.__getattribute__(instance, name)

Or, clearer:

instance.__dict__[name]
