[Python-ideas] Re: Please consider mentioning property without setter when an attribute can't be set

I have to say I agree with Neil here. I was trying to think about what other reasons an attribute might be unsettable, and did not quickly come up with that list.

And after reading your list, I tried to imagine what I’d tell my beginning students !

But if the error message is indeed unique then yes:

"can't set property 'f'"

Would be far more clear message.
