Now, it may be worth considering an addition to the inspect module
that was basically:

def getattr_static(obj, attr):
"""Retrieve attributes without triggering dynamic lookup via the
descriptor protocol,
__getattr__ or __getattribute__.

Note: this function may not be able to retrieve all attributes
reported by dir(obj)
"""
try:
instance_dict = object.__getattribute__(obj, "__dict__")
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
if attr in instance_dict:
return instance_dict[attr]
for entry in getmro(obj.__class__):
try:
return entry.__dict__[attr]
except AttributeError:
pass
Second attempt with a default value parameter and correctly raising
AttributeError if not found:

_sentinel = object()
def getattr_static(obj, attr, default=_sentinel):
"""Retrieve attributes without triggering dynamic lookup via the
descriptor protocol, __getattr__ or __getattribute__.

Note: this function may not be able to retrieve all attributes
reported by dir(obj)
"""
try:
instance_dict = object.__getattribute__(obj, "__dict__")
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
if attr in instance_dict:
return instance_dict[attr]
for entry in getmro(obj.__class__):
try:
return entry.__dict__[attr]
except AttributeError:
pass
if default is not _sentinel:
return default
raise AttributeError(attr)


This doesn't correctly handle the case where obj is a type object or obj uses __slots__.

If I have time (currently on vacation with only intermittent internet access) I'll provide an update.


I managed an updated version (with tests) during the flight home last night. I've attached it to issue 9732, along with a discussion of the caveats and ways of breaking it:
