5.3.1 Attribute references
An attribute reference is a primary followed by a period and a name:
-
The primary must evaluate to an object of a type that supports
attribute references, e.g., a module, list, or an instance. This
object is then asked to produce the attribute whose name is the
identifier. If this attribute is not available, the exception
AttributeError is raised.
Otherwise, the type and value of the object produced is determined by
the object. Multiple evaluations of the same attribute reference may
yield different objects.
Release 2.5.2, documentation updated on 21st February, 2008.
