[Python-Dev] PEP 318: Properties (original) (raw)

Skip> x = 42

Skip> def x(self) [propget]:
Skip>   "Doc string for x"
Skip>   return self.__x

Guido> It's broken.  I expect this to raise an exception at some point.
Guido> Beyond that, who cares?

Jim> If so, then this decorator is a bad idea.

Jim> I would expect 42 to be the initial value of the property x.

Then it makes sense to put "x = 42" after the three property definitions (before the end of the class definition). Would that work?
