DOMObject missing some API and/or possible side effects of print()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Console / Brython version 1.0.20130109-230634 / FF 17.0.1

The following code fails:

x = doc.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/svg", "image")
x.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink',"xlink:href", "value")
x.setAttribute("x", "0")

with:

ExecutionError: x.__getattr__ is not a function
module '__main__' line 2
x.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink',"xlink:href", "value") @ 
http://www.brython.info/py_utils.js:139

but adding a print(x) before using the setter works:

x = doc.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/svg", "image")
print(x)
x.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink',"xlink:href", "value")
x.setAttribute("x", "0")

In this case you should use the built-in function JSObject to be able to use 
the variable :

x = JSObject(doc.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/svg", "image"))
x.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink',"xlink:href", "value")
x.setAttribute("x", "55")
print(x.getAttribute("x"))
