No, I said it pretends to be a *data* attribute.
I don't think it's pretending to be anything. From the outside, it's just an attribute. Data attributes are more common than non-data attributes, so we tend to assume that an attribute is a data attribute until told otherwise. But that's just our psychological bias, not because of any pretence on the part of properties. Also, there's a sense in which *all* attributes are properties. At the lowest level, all attribute accesses end up calling a method. It's just that in most cases the method is implemented in C and it looks up a value in the object's dict. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
