To the OP: you have a unique procedure executed for every attribute of an instance, for each of set, get, and del. That's a lot of code. If you don't want unique procedures, what patterns should they follow? What is wrong with the way you overrode 'get_x' above? When brainstorming, don't restrict yourself to Python syntax-- make something up, and we'll write Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
