Does Python really follow its philosophy of "Readability counts"?

Let me just correct this. As I said before, I haven't yet even used
Scala. The automatic generation of properties for public data members
is done automatically by the compiler and is apparently transparent to
the programmer. The programmer can then override the default
properties if he needs to add functionality. As far as the programmer
is concerned, this is really no different than Python properties. The
only difference is the way the two languages implement properties, not
the way they are used.
