Thought I'd share more of my new style class
explorations - and ask for any insights I may
be missing.
An unexpected (to me) twist in the use of properties.
with inheritance. It seems that the property declaration
must be redeclared when a method in overridden a sub-class.
>>> class A(object):
def get_prop(self):
print "A's property"
prop= property(get_prop)
>>> class B(A):
def get_prop(self):
print "B's property"
>>> a=A()
>>> a.prop
A's property
>>> b=B()
>>> b.prop
A's property
But -
>>> class B(A):
def get_prop(self):
print "B's property"
prop = property(get_prop)
>>> a=A()
>>> a.prop
A's property
>>> b=B()
>>> b.prop
B's property
New style classes, I am finding, are indeed newer than
I had imagined.
Am I missing something, for a change.
