inspect.getattr_static is currently not identifying data descriptors the right way.

Data descriptors are defined by having a __get__ attribute and at least one of the __set__ and __delete__ attributes.

Implementation detail: Both __delete__ and __get__ set the same slot called tp_descr_set in CPython.

I have attached a patch that fixes the issue IMO.

This is not a duplicate. It is related to https://bugs.python.org/issue26103, because __get__ is not required anymore for an object to be a data descriptor. The current code on master (of inspect.getattr_static) still thinks a descriptor has both __get__ and __set__ set.

Since issue #26103 has been fixed, it's now clear that my patch is slightly wrong, but I'm happy to fix that if someone is actually going to review it.

Can you give an example of where getattr_static() is not doing what you expect?
