It's not ideal, because the resulting r-o property has no docstring: >>> class ex(object): ... @property ... def amp(self): ... ''' a nice docstring ''' ... return 23 ... >>> ex.amp.__doc__ >>> class xe(object): ... def amp(self): return 23 ... amp=property(amp, doc='whatever!') ... >>> xe.amp.__doc__ 'whatever!' >>> Maybe we could fix that by having property(getfunc) use getfunc.__doc__ as the __doc__ of the resulting property object (easily overridable in more normal property usage by the doc= argument, which, I feel, should almost invariably be there).
