function.
2 Functions¶
-
IPython.utils.dir2.
safe_hasattr
(obj, attr)¶ In recent versions of Python, hasattr() only catches AttributeError. This catches all errors.

IPython.utils.dir2.
dir2
(obj) → list of strings¶ Extended version of the Python builtin dir(), which does a few extra checks, and handles Traits objects, which can confuse dir().
This version is guaranteed to return only a list of true strings, whereas dir() returns anything that objects inject into themselves, even if they are later not really valid for attribute access (many extension libraries have such bugs).
