Sorry, but I don't understand your question. Which recursive calls to
__getattr__ ? __getattr__ is only called if a/ it's defined and b/ the
attribute has not been found (see below).

Have you overriden __setattr__ or __getattribute__ ? If yes, please read
the corresponding sections of the Fine Manual.


>>> class Toto(object):
...     def __init__(self, name):
...             self.name = name
...     def __getattr__(self, attname):
...             print "__getattr__ called for %s" % attname
...             return "%s doesn't exists" % attname
...
>>> t = Toto('toto')
>>> t.name = name
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'name' is not defined
>>> t.name
'toto'
>>> t.age
__getattr__ called for age
"age doesn't exists"
