"(This is implemented by calling getattr(object, name) and seeing whether it raises an exception or not.)" If a property exists but it's retrieval throws some error, hasattr will interpret this as the property not existing, since it only checks for the existence of an error, not an AttributeError <code> class test: @property def prop(self): # do stuff raise ZeroDivisionError # an example foobar = test() assert hasattr(foobar, "prop") </code> ---------- messages: 74187 nosy: Xore severity: normal status: open title: hasattr boundary case failure type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4020> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
