10. Dunder getattr Method

__getattr__ is called when an attribute lookup fails.

Example​

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        return f"{name} not found"

d = Dynamic()
print(d.missing)

Use Cases​

  • Delegating attribute access
  • Creating proxies or fallback values

Wrap-Up​

__getattr__ gives control over missing attributes, enabling dynamic behaviors.
