I try to access my materials custom property's value using python. I use the following line of code to do that:

print(bpy.data.materials["MATERIAL NAME"]["CUSTOM PROPERTY NAME"])

what blender returns is this error:

1.0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/PATH/TO/MY/SCRIPT/script.py", line XY, in KeyError: 'bpy_struct[key]: key "INSTANCING" not found' Error: Python script fail, look in the console for now...

as you can see, before blender throws the error it actually logs my property's value. (1.0)

Since I am looping over all my scene's materials I did this to check if the Custom Property is existing:

hasattr(material, "CUSTOM PROPERTY NAME")

For whatever reason this is returning FALSE for all materials.

Does it have something to do with the fact that the materials I am aiming for are a linked from other .blend files maybe?

For me it's a dead end street for now, so any help would be much appreciated!

Unless defined as a bpy.props property hasattr won't work. . Use material.get("prop") or check if "prop" in material.keys()
