Catalin Iacob <iacobcata...@gmail.com> added the comment: Attached a patch that adds a note for getattr and setattr. hasattr is documented in terms of getattr so I would say it's not needed there.
I don't know if the interaction with private attributes is confusing enough that it's worth increasing the verbosity of the getattr and setattr docs, all in all I think I'm +0 to adding the note and -0 to just closing the bug as by design and no doc change needed. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +catalin.iacob title: hasattr doensn't show private (double underscore) attributes exist -> hasattr doesn't show private (double underscore) attributes exist Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26289/get-set-attr-private-name-mangling.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
