Yes. Not all of them, just what you need (by example, a read-only property doesn't require a set method; I think the get() docstring is used if no explicit doc is provided; most of the time I don't care to define del...) You don't "have" to define anything you don't need; moreover, you don't have to define a property if you don't actually need it. The very first example in the builtin functions documentation for "property" is a bad example: if all your property does is to wrap a stored attribute, forget about the property and use the attribute directly. > My question is: is it possible to set the "property" for any attribute > when I do not know what will be the name of the attribute in the > future? Uhm... I don't understand the question. Perhaps if you think of a concrete case...? -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
