Re:Python hasattr() Considered Harmful by kqr on Thursday January 14, 2016 @03:17AM (#10900161)
It depends on how you use it! If you use it to acquire the resource, as in

    with open(fn, 'r'):
        ...
then generally the answer is no, since that is the same thing as the equivalent `try…finally`. If someone removes the file after it's being opened it will not be completely wiped until it's closed.
