Not that my opinion matters much, but just in case someone else agrees
with me, I will post it anyway.
I like the direction that Python is taking. However I only have one
request. Check out how Ruby handles accessor creation. I think it
has a very simple and clean syntax with minimum of typing.
I like the idea of get/set stuff, but it needs to become
super-convinient to type in order for it to be used more widely. I
would prefer for there being a fast way of telling Python that a
certain class variable is get-enabled, set-enabled, or both without
actually having to manually type out the accessor methods.
Because plain accessor methods always do the same thing, it's a shame
to waste any lines on them, imo. It's just a repetitive typing that
brings no new information. Only when someone wants to override
default accessors does it make sense to type it out, imo.
Just my $.02. :) This is not meant to be a flame, just a request or a
question, that's all.
