[New-bugs-announce] [issue32163] getattr() returns None even when default is given

[darkdragon-001]

New submission from darkdragon-001 <darkdragon-001 at web.de>:

# fail.py
def main():
    patch = './a'
    f = open(patch, 'r')
    a = getattr(f,'encoding','ascii')
    print(str(a))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

---

$ touch a
$ python fail.py

It still prints out 'None' instead of 'ascii'. This issue is fixed in python3.
