    Ian> Do not use accessor methods, like ``obj.getFoo()`` and
    Ian> ``obj.setFoo(v)``, instead just expose a public attribute
    Ian> (``obj.foo``).  If necessary you can use ``property`` to implement
    Ian> the same functionality that accessor methods would give you.

Don't properties only work with new-style clsses?  If so, this should
probably be noted.
