R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: As an experienced Python programmer, I think of 'attribute' as meaning any attribute (method or non-method) of an object or class. I sometimes do use it imprecisely (to my mind) to mean "non-method attribute", and it is usually clear from context what I mean.
Raymond, if attribute means only non-method attributes, what is the word for the set of things that contains both method and non-method...ah, attributes...of an object? (I thought we already had this discussion both on python-dev and another issue....) Hmm. Actually looking at the linked entry, it looks correct to me (it covers both method and non-method attributes as far as I can see). It might be clearer if it mentioned that a value can be anything, including a method. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12491> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
