I think the intent of the original code was to check if handle had the
attribute "name", I don't think the attribute "write" was the issue.

Secondly, for your use case "print the name if it has one" I _would_ use
hasattr:
if hasattr(handle, name):
write("# Report_file: %s\n" % name)
On reflection, there's also this:
name = getattr(handle, 'name', repr(handle))
write("# Report_file: %s\n" % name)
i.e. _always_ identfy the handle, even if it has no nice name.
