Python uses the descriptor protocol which is basically getters and setters. It's is just hidden by a strange decorator syntax.
This is about the interface, not the implementation. "Getters and setters" in this context means designing the API of your class to have things like getFoo() and setFoo() in it. That's not just totally unnecessary in Python, it's counterproductive. It makes the API tedious to use for no benefit. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
