> The chaining part, or the idea at all?

Sorry, I didn't even see the chaining idea, so it was the keyword
attribute instead of two different functions I disliked.  The chaining
idea seems unnecessary, you can do this with a general currying
facility.  (I'm not so keen on copying too many such ideas from Zope
in to Python -- together they feel more like a bag of clever tricks
than like a well-thought-out language.)

Anyway, it's all moot -- Raymond just added operator.itemgetter and
operator.attrgetter.
