I always get tripped up when I'm editing code that catches
AttributeError and does something with it. I'll type "req.emthod" or
something, and next thing I know I'm getting 405s in all my unit
tests. This diff removes some places where we catch AttributeError
(sometimes, having deliberately thrown it only one line before) so
that typos can crash the way Guido intended.
