Python – AttributeError: ‘search’ object has no attribute ‘status_code’ in django project

Try hasattr():

if hasattr(a, 'property'):
    a.property

See zweiterlinde's answer below, who offers good advice about asking forgiveness! A very pythonic approach!

The general practice in python is that, if the property is likely to be there most of the time, simply call it and either let the exception propagate, or trap it with a try/except block. This will likely be faster than hasattr. If the property is likely to not be there most of the time, or you're not sure, using hasattr will probably be faster than repeatedly falling into an exception block.

That exception means that there was an error in some SQL that is getting executed. Since Django runs all the SQL inside of a database transaction, all the SQL that is being executed after the error gets ignored. So:

BEGIN;
SELECT * FROM table;
SELECT missing_column FROM table WHERE id = 1; -- generates an error because the column is missing
SELECT * FROM another_table; -- this statement and all following statements get ignored until the next COMMIT;
COMMIT;

To figure out the problem, find your log file for PostgreSQL and run tail -f /path/to/postgresql_error.log. Then refresh the page. You should see the error come up in the log file.
