Please read the first sentence of the docs for the built-in function getattr() here: http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html?highlight=getattr#getattr

Fix the word 'attributed' to 'attribute', because the former is a typo.



A side question. When you document an object's API in the docstring, you write it like this:
getattr(object, name[, default]) -> value

Don't you find it nicer if that would look like this:
getattr(object, name, [default]) -> value

Note the cosmetic fix between the arguments 'name' and 'default'. Do you find my fix acceptable? If yes, please fix docstrings in Python that document the object's API from the '...name[, default]...' format to '...name, [default]...' format.

No, that would be incorrect syntax (if you omit the optional argument you should also omit the comma that precedes it).

Typo fixed in r85572.  Otherwise, as David says.

If you visit  http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html?highlight=getattr#getattr  there is still the word 'attributed' present in online docs. Please fix the docs completely.

Boštjan, it is fixed. The change will reflect when the docs get served
from the updated version. 

Also, Georg will take care of merging it to other branches.

The change is still not reflected. Why not? It's been more than a
month now. What is going on?

I don't waste my time by merging every little typo fix to the maintenance branches immediately; I rather merge them all at once every now and then.  You will certainly understand that nobody is harmed by a stray "d", even if it has a pointy tip.
