To me hasattr *looks* like a passive introspection function, and the fact

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.
Well yes. One of the reasons a full workaround is so arcane is that if
you *really* don't want to trigger code execution you can't call dir...
(Otherwise name in dir(obj) is a reasonable approximation for
hasattr(obj, name).)
