We seem to be flogging a dead horse now. Is the following a fair
summary:
Q. What is the Pythonic way of implementing getters and setters?
A. Use attributes.
Quote: "I put a lot more effort into choosing method and function
names"
Wisdom: Python is a different paradigm from (e.g.) Java w.r.t.
accessors: Put the effort you would have put into choosing accessor
names into choosing attribute names.
Anything else to add to this? Or can it be put to bed?
