Sorry, that's an attribute, not a property.
This is a question about terminology. In contrast to Darren's recommended usage, I have run into the following. If hasattr(x,'a') is True, for instance object `x`, then `a` is an attribute of `x`. Attributes are data attributes or callable attributes. Data attributes are variables or properties. Callable attributes are usually method attributes. This seemed about right to me, but a better (or "official") taxonomy would be welcome. Thanks, Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
