As a bit of an aside, I wish cmds.listConnections had an option to return 
connections in source/destination pairs or ordering like pymel does. Is there a 
better way to handle disconnecting attributes with an unknown direction than 
querying twice like so?

for attr in attrs:
    src_conns = cmds.listConnections(attr, d=False, p=True) or []
    for conn in src_conns:
        cmds.disconnectAttr(conn, attr)
    dst_conns = cmds.listConnections(attr, s=False, p=True) or []
    for conn in dst_conns:
        cmds.disconnectAttr(attr, conn)
