Your example Dennis, work as expected. I understand the mistake i have made. But when i try to fix the original code usihn @property now, it gives me the same error. So, here it is:
class Person(object): _age = 0 @property def age(): def fget(self): return self._age def fset(self, value): self._age = value me = Person() me.age = 34 print me.age I am sure it is something very obvious but my skills does not (yet) enable me to figure this out,,, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
