[issue22716] Add reference to the object missing an attribute to AttributeError

[flying sheep]

New submission from flying sheep:

Trying to replicate a Ruby Gem that raises a “did you mean” error when mistyping a method name, I hit a showstopper:

There seems to be no way to get the object which misses an attribute from an AttributeError.

I propose the appended patch (it might be completely broken because I’m not experienced in the Python C API, but I tried)
