Replying to samueladam

That's good the current tests pass, what about a test that shows the failure and shows that the patch fixes it? Neither patch has that, so far as I can see.

Setting 1.1 milestone since someone with a clue in this area of the code should probably look at this for 1.1.

Needs tests: unset

@kmtracey

There you go for the test

@pmclanahan

Fox a fix with an "if", those are more pythonic:

if link:
    pass

#or

if hasattr(link, 'name'):
    pass

@samueladam

I agree. And I had that first, but then I thought about the fact that I was trying to correct for a specific condition where the value was set to None, and since I wasn't absolutely sure of the truth of typical values, I decided to be explicit, which I considered to be in keeping w/ the zen. But if expected values always evaluate to true, then you're right.

In any case, as long as we can get this fixed and checked in, I'll be happy. Thanks for the help!
