hasattr + __getattr__: I think this is Python bug

So can anyone explain me how to look into object's dict? As I have
wrote, "something in dir(...)" requires O(numOfFields) while I would
like to use o(log(n))

>How about using a property instead of the __getattr__() hook? A property is a computed attribute that (among other things) plays much nicer with hasattr.

Could anyone provide an example of it to be implemented, taking into
account that a user can manually set "myObject.size" to an integer
value?
