Omg, thanks! That's way better. :D

Ah, I think I get it.
Just to clarify things for me, does attribute equal a property or method? :D
I am guessing that attribute = property, so you're saying that I
could/should do this:
@property
def separator(self):
return ' :: '

Ah, interesting... I think I need to let this all sink in a little. :)

I have a little experience with Actionscipt 3 and PHP5 OOP... I guess
I am used to the concept/practice of getters/setters,
(public/private/other) class methods and properties.
Are you saying that a non-property model class method is equivalent to
getter/setter? Or, maybe you are saying that the "lat =
property(_get_lat)" python property syntax is like
getters/setters/accessors in other programming langs?
Again, sorry if stupid questions... sorry if this is getting OT for
the Django list.

I have not heard of this before. Googling "new-style classes and the
descriptor protocol" now. ;)
Looks like I have a lot of learning to do! :D
Thanks again, I greatly appreciate your time and assistance.
Have a great day.
Cheers,
Micky
