Overriding methods in classes that use property()

[Edmund Lian]

Hi,

When I run the code appended below, class B inherits all the methods of
class A, including the property() definition as I would expect.
Unfortunately, class C also does the same; I cannot override class A's
setVal method. Is this a bug, or do I have to do something different (and
unexpected) with Python 2.2's new style classes?

...Edmund.

class A(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self._val = None

    def setVal(self, value):
        self._val = value

    def getVal (self):
        return self._val

    val = property(getVal, setVal)

class B(A):
    pass

class C(A):
    def setVal(self, value):
        self._val = 'Huh?'
