I have many cases in my code where I use a property for calculating a value on-demand. Quite a few of these only need to be called once. After that the value is always the same. In these properties, I set a variable in the instance as a cached value and return that value on subsequent calls. It would be nice if there was a descriptor that would do this automatically. Actually, what would be really nice is if I could replace the property altogether and put the calculated value in its place after the first call, but the property itself prevents me from doing that. Is this possible?
