Hello!
In the past few months I've been toying around with .NET, C# and PythonNet. While I still think that C# is too wory (public static explicit operator Egg(Spam spam) { ... }) C# has one syntax feature I really like to see in Python.
private float _a public float a { get { return _a; } set { _a = value; } }
[snip]
Comments?
Python has an exact equivalent to the C# method (which uses a new block/scope for defining properties...)
class foo: class a(Property): ''' documentation ''' def get(self): return self._a def set(self, val): self._a = val def de1(self): del self._a
Now all you need is a Property base class with a proper metaclass that handles all of the magic for you. I'm curious as to why this still gets brought up when the obvious syntax is more or less identical to basically all reasonable alternate syntaxes. Is it because people don't understand that metaclasses can mangle your class any way they want?
No, it's because they feel that the word "class" to introduce a property is ugly, and I can't blame them for it. Georg
