Function Details: getattr

Description


Gets a named attribute from an object; getattr(x, 'y') is equivalent to x.y.


Extended Description


The getattr() function is used to get the value of a named attribute of an object. It is useful when you need to access attributes dynamically or when you're not sure if an attribute exists. If the named attribute does not exist, getattr() will raise an AttributeError, unless a default value is provided as the third argument.


Exceptions


  • AttributeError: If the named attribute does not exist and no default value is specified
