Narrowing using hasattr()
The builtin function hasattr() can be used to narrow nominal and structural types. This is
accomplished using an intersection with a synthesized protocol:
from typing import final
class Foo: ...
@final
class Bar: ...
def f(x: Foo):
if hasattr(x, "spam"):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Foo & <Protocol with members 'spam'>
reveal_type(x.spam) # revealed: object
if hasattr(x, "not-an-identifier"):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Foo
def y(x: Bar):
if hasattr(x, "spam"):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Never
reveal_type(x.spam) # revealed: Never
