I have a class with a read-only attribute, and I want to add a unit test to ensure that it really *is* read-only. I can do this as
def test_readonly(self): """Value and multiplier must be readonly""" try: self.combat.value = 1 self.fail("Value is not read only") except AttributeError: pass That works, but it seems a bit clumsy. Is there a better way? Thanks, Paul. -- XML with elementtree is what makes me never have think about XML again. -- Istvan Albert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
