More generally, what are the guidelines for determining when it's appropriate to make something a property rather than a method? Both are awkward on numeric types in python, necessitating brackets or a space before the dot: (1).doc 1 .doc I'd suggest a third alternative, which is a standalone function in math: from math import numbits: numbits(1)
Math is pretty much float, not int functions.
