I've been reading about Python Classes, and I'm a little confused about how Python stores the state of an object. I was hoping for some help.
I realize that you can't create an empty place holder for a member variable of a Python object. It has to be given a value when defined, or set within a method. But what is the difference between an Attribute of a Class, a Descriptor in a Class, and a Property in a Class? If I had a Monster Class, and I wanted to give each Monster a member variable called ScaryFactor, how would I define it? Does a Property simply provide methods that access an Attribute? Thanks, Scott Huey P.S. - I'm speaking about the "new" Python classes, not the "old" ones. I hope my questions make sense. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
