New issue 3475: OrderedProperties suffers from clashes between table columns names and its own methods

Alessandro Molina:

OrderedProperties provides the __getattr__ method which allows to lookup for column information using the dot notation, the issue is that in case my column was actually called like a method of OrderedProperties it returns the method instead of the column.

This is probably not a bug, but it's an unexpected behaviour in most cases. See https://github.com/TurboGears/tg2/issues/64 for origin of this issue.

Probably dot notation access should be deprecated to avoid confusion and only allow dictionary stile access?
