How to check if an edge has an attribute in Networkx

Question

I created a graph in yEd and I want to check if an edge has an attribute. For example some edges have a label but some dont. When I try to do this I get an an error:

for n, nbrs in G.adjacency_iter():
  for nbr,eattr in nbrs.items():
    evpn = eattr['vpn']
    elabel = eattr['label']  #error is here
    if evpn != "No":
      nlabel = G[n].get("label")
      platform = G[n].get("platform")
      if G[nbr].get("platform") == platform:
        g_vpn.add_nodes_from([n,nbr], label, platform) # I dont know if this way 
                                                 #to set attributes is right

While vpn attribute works because I have set a default value. I know I could just put a label value in all edges but I want my program to check if label is missing and setting a default value like what I do below. Although it doesn't work because it can't find the label attribute in some edges:

for e,v in G.edges():
  if G[e][v].get("label") == ""
  label = "".join("vedge",i)
  i+=1
  G[e][v]['label']=label

Also if you could check the rest of that code and tell me if it needs any improvement or make some things easier to do. Thanks

The edge attributes are stored as a dictionary so you can test to see if the key is in the dictionary:

In [1]: import networkx as nx

In [2]: G = nx.Graph()

In [3]: G.add_edge(1,2,color='blue')

In [4]: G.add_edge(2,3)

In [5]: 'color' in G[1][2]
Out[5]: True

In [6]: 'color' in G[2][3]
Out[6]: False
