What is a reliable way to get the the property object for an instance attribute? (Or more generally, to get the descriptor controlling an attribute?)
If class ``A`` defines the property ``x`` and ``a`` in an instance of ``A``, then you can just use ``type(a).__dict__['x']`` to get the property object. But this will not work if the property is inherited. Thanks, Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
