Issue1909

The 'attrgetter' method in the 'operator' library does not appear to function as expected.

Environment: jython2.7a2, w/ OpenJDK-6 on Ubuntu 12.04

Test: try running the code below:

class Foo(object):
    pass

class Bar(object):
    pass

f = Foo()
f.bar = Bar()
f.bar.bat = 5

from operator import attrgetter
print attrgetter("bar.bat")(f) 

----
The result is this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "t.py", line 13, in <module>
    print attrgetter("bar.bat")(f)
AttributeError: 'Foo' object has no attribute 'bar.bat' 


This specifically causes problems when used with SqlAlchemy 0.7.7, as per this thread:

PS: I'm just getting into Jython, looks like a very cool tool, and potentially very useful as well.

This patch fixes the issue.

Didn't set up the first patch properly -- here's an updated copy.

Third attempt at submitting a proper patch file.

Jez: I applied your patch - note that I added the test that adorsk submitted to test_operator_jy.py. Normally I would have bugged you to do that but it's too close to beta time :)

There's actually a test for dotted attributes in the original CPython test which I uncommented. :)

Oops - you know I think I pushed so many of your patches that I probably just got mixed up :) -- I'll delete the redundant test.
