Great. I'll think about this and decide which is better - lamba or private functions. Lambda seems muchI'm not aware of possibility that works as you first expected. You yourself explained why.
But _maybe_ you can use lambda here - that creates the layer of indirection one needs.
foo = property(lambda self: self.get_foo(), lamda self,v: self.set_foo(v))
shorter but it is not as clear why it is there. :-)
On second thoughts, a metaclass _might_ help here - but it would be ratherYes, I feel the same. Using a metaclass could be a small help but rather elaborate and probably much slower.
elaborate: look in the baseclasses for properties that have getters and
setters of the same name as some methods in the current class, and replace
them, or create a new property with them (I'm not sure if descriptors
allow changing their get/set/del methods). I'm not 100% sure if and how
good that works (a quick hack would be easy, but to ship around the cliffs
of multiple inheritance requires more careful navigation I fear...)
Thank you for your help.
