Summary: inspect.getmembers() breaks sometimes

Initial Comment:
The inspect library module getmembers() method breaks
sometimes when it makes a getattr() call that fails. A
simple example is a slot that doesn't have a value:

 >>> class X(object): __slots__ = 'foo'
 >>> import inspect
 >>> inspect.getmembers(x())
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in -toplevel-
     inspect.getmembers(X())
   File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\inspect.py", line 171, in
getmembers
     value = getattr(object, key)
AttributeError: foo
 >>>

On the PEAK mailing list Phillip Eby suggested wrapping
the gettattr() call in try/except. This seems to work fine.
