Let's stick with "propset" which has precedent as an svn action and serves as a short, simple mnemonic to the functionality.
But if we're going to have "propset", it raises the question of why there isn't a "propget".
Which can be eliminated by having property.setter, especially in the form:
@property def foo(self): ...
@foo.setter def foo(self, value): ...
@foo.deleter def foo(self): ...
This even preserves Guido's "read-only + read-write" use case, and saves us a builtin.
Although it begs the question what happened to @foo.getter. I'm only +0 on this -- I can't quite pinpoint what's wrong with it but it doesn't fell 100% right. Maybe I just need to sleep on it. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
