I seem to be missing some of the messages on this thread, but while we're talking about properties, it's probably instructive to remind people that the functions passed to the property function are not redefinable in subclasses:
py> class D(C): ... def getx(self): ... return 42 ... py> D(5).x 5
Oops, sorry! Bad copy-paste! No biscuit! Ignore the code above here. Important code is below:
py> class C(object): ... def getx(self): ... return 1 ... x = property(getx) ... py> class D(C): ... def getx(self): ... return 42 ... py> C().x 1 py> D().x 1
