\begin{funcdesc}{getattr}{object, name}
The arguments are an object and a string. The string must be the
name of one of the object's attributes. The result is the value of
that attribute. For example, \code{getattr(\var{x},
'\var{foobar}')} is equivalent to \code{\var{x}.\var{foobar}}.
\begin{funcdesc}{getattr}{object, name\optional{, default}}
Return the value of the named attributed of \var{object}. \var{name}
must be a string. If the string is the name of one of the object's
attributes, the result is the value of that attribute. For example,
\code{getattr(x, 'foobar')} is equivalent to \code{x.foobar}. If the
named attribute does not exist, \var{default} is returned if provided,
otherwise \exception{AttributeError} is raised.
