Describe the task. It can be a feature, documentation, etc.

getattr makes sense in very few places in our project, and it usually hides other issues.

• inspect/remove all places where it is used
• put a linter rule in place

The easiest would be to use pylint for instance:

[tool.pylint.main]
load-plugins=pylint.extensions.badbuiltin

[tool.pylint.TYPECHECK]
bad-functions=getattr

This rule should be activated both with scripts.sh lint and script.sh lint-check (people running lint expect that a success means it will pass lint-check)

Hedgedoc URL, if you are keeping notes, plots, logs in hedgedoc.
