property problem

[Peter Maas]

Hi,

while experimenting with class properties using Python 2.2.1
I encountered the following weird behaviour:

This is my testclass:

class proptest:

  	def __init__(self):
  		self.__data = 0
  		
  	def get_data(self):
  		return self.__data

  	def set_data(self, value):
  		self.__data = value

  	data = property(get_data, set_data)

  	def meth(self):
  		return self.__data

This is my testcode:

 >>> x = proptest()
 >>> x.data=234
 >>> x.data
234
 >>> x.meth()
0
 >>> x.set_data(234)
 >>> x.meth()
234

Explanation:

The "data" property works but a change using the property
name doesn't show in meth(). If I use the access function set_data
it works as expected. Is it my fault or Python's?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Peter Maas
