The problem I have with properties is my typing. I'll end up assigning
to an attribute, but get the spelling slightly wrong (capitalized, or
missing an underscore -- non-obvious things when bug-hunting), so now I
have an extra attribute which of course has zero effect on what I'm
trying to do and I start getting wierd results like viewing deleted
records when I *know* I set useDeleted = False... 30 minutes later I
notice it was /supposed/ to be use_deleted. *sigh*
So -- to keep myself out of trouble -- I have started coding such things
as, for example:
result = table.use_deleted() # returns True or False
table.use_deleted(False) # skip deleted records
instead of
result = table.use_deleted
table.use_deleted = False
My question: is this [ severely | mildly | not at all ] un-pythonic?
