when you do x.y = z and if y is a descriptor you don't expect x.y is now pointing/binding to z, you have to understand the object behavior anyway. I do not see how this is different in the set/getself() case.
The difference is that the special behaviour is associated with 'x.y', not just 'y'. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/IVTQ5J4NZIUPSA4XBCA674JDP2P4TXZL/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
