Which means that, fundamentally, EAFP is the way to do it. So if PEP 463 expressions had existed from the beginning, hasattr() probably wouldn't have been written - people would just use an except-expression instead.
Really? hasattr() is much easier to write than the corresponding except-expression.
But would it be sufficiently easier to justify the creation of a built-in?
Well, can you propose the corresponding except-expression? Regards Antoine.
