Checks if the given Attribute (or list of Attributes) exists on

Args:
key (str or iterable): The Attribute key or keys to check for.
If `None`, search by category.
category (str or None): Limit the check to Attributes with this
category (note, that `None` is the default category).
Returns:
has_attribute (bool or list): If the Attribute exists on
this object or not. If `key` was given as an iterable then
the return is a list of booleans.

"""
Get the Attribute.
Args:
key (str or list, optional): the attribute identifier or
multiple attributes to get. if a list of keys, the
method will return a list.
category (str, optional): the category within which to
retrieve attribute(s).
default (any, optional): The value to return if an
Attribute was not defined. If set, it will be returned in
a one-item list.
return_obj (bool, optional): If set, the return is not the value of the
Attribute but the Attribute object itself.
strattr (bool, optional): Return the `strvalue` field of
the Attribute rather than the usual `value`, this is a
string-only value for quick database searches.
raise_exception (bool, optional): When an Attribute is not
found, the return from this is usually `default`. If this
is set, an exception is raised instead.
accessing_obj (object, optional): If set, an `attrread`
permission lock will be checked before returning each
looked-after Attribute.
default_access (bool, optional): If no `attrread` lock is set on
object, this determines if the lock should then be passed or not.
return_list (bool, optional):
Returns:
result (any or list): One or more matches for keys and/or categories. Each match will be
the value of the found Attribute(s) unless `return_obj` is True, at which point it
will be the attribute object itself or None. If `return_list` is True, this will
always be a list, regardless of the number of elements.
Raises:
AttributeError: If `raise_exception` is set and no matching Attribute
was found matching `key`.
