believe it or not, hasattr is the same as:
try:
getattr(obj, name)
return True
except: # yikes! naked except!
return False
https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#hasattr
So, excepting AttributeError will at least narrow down the error slightly,
rather than hasattr accepting _any_ exception.
