properties are for newstyle classes only (i. e. classes that inherit from object). from unittest import TestCase import unittest class Task(object): def __init__(self,command): self._command = command def setNothing(self, value): raise AttributeError def getCommand(self): return self._command command=property(getCommand, setNothing) # or just # command=property(getCommand) class taskTest(TestCase): def testTask(self): t = Task("dir c:") c = t.command self.assertEquals("dir c:", c) def set(): t.command = "foo Bar" self.assertRaises(AttributeError, set) self.assertEquals("dir c:", t.command) if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main() Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
