Well, yes, that was pretty obvious - but what was NOT obvious is why it should do that for one of two identical methods. |> (that's what "a function for getting an attribute value" in the property documentation |> refers to). Well, as joe is an attribute of the class fred, and the decorator is applied to the declaration of joe within fred, I assumed that it referred to getting joe from fred. That certainly doesn't appear to be the case, and I don't see how it helps with my original request if not. Regards, Nick Maclaren. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
