Property setter and lambda question

Awesome, Thomas. The trick only works if there is only *one* leading
underscore in the *method* names.

The following example works as I expected for the derived class B.

class A(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.__not_here = 1

    def _get_not_here(self):
        return self.__not_here

    def _set_not_here(self, v):
        print "I am called"
        self.__not_here = v

    not_here = property(lambda self: self._get_not_here(), lambda self, v:
self._set_not_here(v))

class B(A):
    def _set_not_here(self, v):
        print "version B"
        self.__not_here = v


a = A()
# print a.__not_here
print a.not_here
# a.set_not_here(10)
a.not_here = 10
print a.not_here


b = B()
print b.not_here
b.not_here = 70  # print version B
print b.not_here
