Yes, it can technically return a non-descriptor, but the *primary* purpose is to customise the retrieval of objects that will be checked to see if they're descriptors. It *won't* be invoked when looking for ordinary attributes in an instance dict, but *will* be invoked when looking on the class object. __getdescriptor__ would work. The name is not 100% accurate, but a lot clearer than the other alternatives I've seen. Ronald P.S. Sorry about the slow response, its hard to find enough time to seriously participate in the discussion.
