Saying "setproperty" has too many ambiguous mental parsings. When does "set" take place -- assigning a value to a property is different defining the property itself.

I once co-owned a magazine called Know Your Boston and it was very difficult for clients to find using Google.
'propset' would have the virtue of following 'property' in the alpha listing of functions in the manual. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
