... I'm a pretty naive user of properties, so can you explain to me how what you propose is better than class C(object): def __init__(self): self._encoding = None def get_encoding(self): return self._encoding def set_encoding(self, value): if value is not None: unicode("0", value) # Test it self._encoding = value encoding = property(get_encoding, set_encoding) ? Guido> I'd also like to change property so that the doc string defaults Guido> to the doc string of the getter. How about defaulting it to the first argument to property() which has a doc string?
