AttributeError chaining bug #1944 fix

[axil]

Thanks for submitting a PR, your contribution is really appreciated!

Here's a quick checklist that should be present in PRs:

• Target: for bug or doc fixes, target master; for new features, target features;
• Make sure to include one or more tests for your change;
• Add yourself to AUTHORS;
• Add a new entry to CHANGELOG.rst
  • Choose any open position to avoid merge conflicts with other PRs.
  • Add a link to the issue you are fixing (if any) using RST syntax.
  • The pytest team likes to have people to acknowledged in the CHANGELOG, so please add a thank note to yourself ("Thanks @user for the PR") and a link to your GitHub profile. It may sound weird thanking yourself, but otherwise a maintainer would have to do it manually before or after merging instead of just using GitHub's merge button. This makes it easier on the maintainers to merge PRs.

Thanks, I've seen this happen on occasion but never took the time to properly look it up.

Would you mind add a CHANGELOG entry as well?

Thanks! Maybe it'd make sense to include a test which creates a file like the one in the issue, runs pytest over it, and checks that "AttributeError" isn't in the output? Should be really straightforward to add and prevent regressions for this in the future.
