Even the problem seems to rather defeat the purpose of a property. A property should be very simple - why do you need to override it and call super()? Doesn't this rather imply that you've gone beyond the normal use of properties *already*? Subclassing and overriding are part of the interface of a class, albeit an interface that only a subset of other classes will use. Think carefully about why, if this is meant to be made available, it isn't simply a method call. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
