Re: [Python-Dev] 'hasattr' is broken by design

2010/8/23 Michael Foord <fuzzyman@voidspace.org.uk>:

To me hasattr *looks* like a passive introspection function, and the fact that it can trigger arbitrary code execution is unfortunate - especially because a full workaround is pretty arcane.

That's the danger of a dynamic language like Python. Even dir() can now trigger things like that. -- Regards, Benjamin
