You typically use either __getattribute__() which is called for every 
attribute or __getattr__() which is called only as a fallback when an 
attribute is not found in the instance __dict__.

__get__() is part of the descriptor protocol; it is called on attribute 
access:

>>> class A(object):
...     c = C()
... 
>>> A().c
('__get__() is called', <__main__.A object at 0x7f7cc2c8e850>, <class 
'__main__.A'>)
<__main__.C object at 0x7f7cc2c8e910>
>>> A.c
('__get__() is called', None, <class '__main__.A'>)
<__main__.C object at 0x7f7cc2c8e910>
