In my experience of getters and setters in Java, most developers choose attribute names first, and then use the IDE (Java without an IDE *really* sucks) to auto-generate the getters and setters. So most Java developers I have worked with pay more attention to attributes than accessor names as these are derived anyway. So I guess it depends on who the developers are ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
