My purpose was to discuss a new syntax. The other stuff is mostly for reference, to show that lot of (some) people has tried to find alternative solutions to a problem they feel. > The only drawback is the "deprecated" I can see other drawbacks: you have to use an explicit doc = "..." instead of a normal docstring, and you have to remember to put return property(**locals()) at its end. I don't know if your version is compatible with Psyco (I presume it's compatible). And I think all those solutions can't be subclassed like I have shown in the altenative syntax (but maybe you can find a way to modify the metaclass version to allow this too).
