And someone else pointed out that this could still be a trigger for NULL'ing
out slots at the C level, since None is a compiler-enforced singleton.
A direct check for callability/hashability/whateverability gets more verbose
though:
getattr(obj, "__hash__", None) is not None
The upside is that it would be simple to embody the convention in a couple of
functions:
def getslotattr(obj, slotname):
attr = getattr(obj, slotname)
if attr is None:
raise AttributeError("meaningful error message")
return attr
def hasslotattr(obj, slotname):
return getattr(obj, slotname, None) is not None
Cheers,
Nick.
