[Python-Dev] Property syntax (Re: [Python-Dev] Extended Function syntax)

[Greg Ewing]

Some more thoughts on property syntax...

(1) It's a pity "access" was revoked as a keyword, since
it would have fitted quite well:

  access foo:
    def __get__(self):
      ...
    def __set__(self, x):
      ...

Is there any chance it could be reinstated?

(2) Maybe "property" could be recognised as a pseudo-keyword
when it's the first word of a statement inside a class
definition.
