This is a fix to #281: proper error message is returned now instead of panic

Why?

Won't other types of errors have the same issue? I don't see what's special about AttributeError. The default behavior of printing AttributeError("...") seems acceptable to me (for now) and should be simple enough.

Here I think that it should only catch AttributeError because we are using getattr to get the member of an object, so we are only expecting AttributeError to happen here. Other errors should not happen.

Hmm maybe it's better to use unreachable! to mark that internal error and panic here?

force-pushed to use unreachable! to handle internal error in which exception other than AttributeError are thrown from python interpreter

No, there can be other exceptions. For example:

>>> class X:
...   def __getattr__(self, attr):
...     raise TypeError
... 
>>> getattr(X(), "foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in __getattr__
TypeError

Please remove the special-casing.
