A get() like method for checking for Python attributes

Question

If I had a dictionary dict and I wanted to check for dict[\'key\'] I could either do so in a try block (bleh!) or use the get()<

Answer 1

Do you mean hasattr() perhaps?

hasattr(object, "attribute name") #Returns True or False

Python.org doc - Built in functions - hasattr()

You can also do this, which is a bit more cluttered and doesn't work for methods.

"attribute" in obj.__dict__
