You can't have it both ways. If you want
myObj.greeting2 # No parentheses
To evaluate to a string (which it will if it's a property as you
set it up), then it is necessarily true that myObj.greeting2(somearg) is
going to try to call that string, which isn't going to work. If you
need to be able to pass in parameters, then you need greeting2 to be a
real method, not a property, and you need to get the greeting string
with
myObj.greeting2() # Parentheses
All this is as it should be. The whole point of properties is that
outside functions accessing them don't "know" that a getter function is
called behind the scenes.
