I agree with Steven on that one, while getters/setters are not the preferred way, they are not utterly wrong.
I'm not saying that they're wrong in general, only that they're wrong for *Python*. This matters, because the course in question is purportedly teaching Python. To make a blanket statement like that in a Python course, without pointing out that it applies *only* to some languages *other* than Python, is grossly misleading. Now it may be that the quotation is taken out of context, and the instructor did in fact point this out, but the way the paragraph is worded, it sounds like it's just been blindly lifted from some Java or C++ book. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
