I came across a strange error when trying to define a settable property for a new-style subclass of UserArray (Numeric). Here's a shorter example that reproduces the problem:
from UserArray import UserArray from math import hypot class Vector(UserArray,object): def __init__(self,x,y): super(Vector,self).__init__((x,y)) def _fget(self): return hypot(*self) def _fset(self, m): self *= m/self.magnitude magnitude = property(_fget, _fset) v = Vector(3.,4.) print v.magnitude # the line below prints an infinite sequence of: # Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "can't delete attribute" # in ignored v.magnitude = 10 Any ideas on what's going on and if there's a workaround ?
