But I'll note that Python has supported read-only properties for, oh, a decade or more, and do I hear people complaining about how much libraries and applications over-use and abuse properties?
That's not quite the same thing. Python doesn't go out of its way to support read-only properties; it's just that if you create a property and don't define what it means to write it, then it can't be written. Read-only variables, on the other hand, would require adding a new concept to the language and extending the interpreter to support it. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
