Just for those that might have tastes like mine; here's the pattern I've been using for this (in 2.4, obviously): class C(object): @apply def x(): doc = "I'm the 'x' property." def fget(self): return self.__x def fset(self, value): self.__x = value def fdel(self): del self.__x return property(**locals()) You can remove any of fget, fset, fdel, or doc without changing any other lines, and there are no "extra" entries in the class's name space. -- season-to-taste-ly yours, Benji York -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
