PyObject_GetAttr() can set not only AttributeError. If it sets a different error, it should not be overridden by AttributeError.
I suggest to use PyObject_GetOptionalAttr().

Why not chain the original error to a new exception (raise from)?

Or maybe this is a use case for adding a note to the original exception and letting it propagate on (if we don't want to change the type of the exception being raised).

Would be great to mention this nice quality-of-life improvement with an example in What's New, similar to: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#improved-error-messages |
