[2010-01] some simple examples of using properties in python, probably not idiomatic

properties.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys

class Example(object):
	@property
	def readOnlyProperty(self):
		print "Getting five"
		return 5
	
	__it = 6
	
	def getWriteableProperty(self):
		print "Getting it"
		return self.__it

	def setWriteableProperty(self, value):
		print "Setting it"
		self.__it = value
	
	writeableProperty = property(getWriteableProperty, setWriteableProperty)

def main():
	x = Example()
	
	print x.readOnlyProperty
	print x.writeableProperty
	x.writeableProperty = 13
	print x.writeableProperty 

if __name__ == "__main__": sys.exit(main())
