+            [Python] Apply #598. Fix misleading error message when attempting to read a non-existent
+            attribute. The previous cryptic error message:
+              AttributeError: type object 'object' has no attribute '__getattr__'
+            is now replaced with one mentioning the attribute name, eg:
+              AttributeError: 'Foo' object has no attribute 'bar'
