You've already gotten two useful responses. I'd just like to add that typically, the object attributes are referenced directly: rect.length * rect.width to compute area. Do not use: rect.get_length() * rect.get_width(). getter/setter methods get created when you some code is needed to control access: room.celsius room.fahrenheit computes the proper value from a single stored temperature (in Kelvin?). The code still looks like a direct reference to the attribute. You have a choice of using __getattr__/__getattribute__/__setattr__ or properties as suggested in the other email responses. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://dlslug.org/library.html http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rsshtml/recent/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/dlslug _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
