hi, i am very new to python, not knowing much about good design. I have an object here for example a Customer object, where I need to retrieve a info which has a number of lines of code to get it.
my question is weather what approach should I use? to use the property which is from the python new class style as I understand or simple use function that will return the the info I needed. class Customer(object): current_balance = property(fget=_get_current_balance) def _get_current_balance(self): # coding here or def get_current_balance(self): # coding here While both approach would get the job done, I don't know much about the performance, benefits, design philosophy between the two approach. Any lecture will be very appreciated. Thanks james -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
