Apparently another way to get getattr_static to execute code in Python 2.3rc3 is simply the following.
>>> class Foo:
... @property
... def __dict__(self):
... print("Hello, World.")
... return {}
... 
>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.getattr_static(Foo(), 'a')
Hello, World.
Traceback (most recent call last):
