[issue8483] asyncore.dispatcher's __getattr__ method produces confusing effects

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rodola at gmail.com> added the comment:

As per discussion on #python-dev we think it's better to proceed as follows:

for python 2.7 and 3.2: 
 - fix __getattr__ error message
 - raise a DeprecationWarning if cheap inheritance is used and definitively remove its support in the next major version
 - create an alias for __str__

For Python 2.6 and 3.1: just fix __getattr__ error message.

Patch for Python 2.7 is in attachment.
