While using decorator syntax (with the @) is convenient, it also a bit concealing. You can use properties directly, without decorators. The following Python 3.x example shows this:
class A:
p = 1234
def getX (self):
return self._x
def setX (self, value):
self._x = value
def getY (self):
return self._y
def setY (self, value):
self._y = 1000 + value # Weird but possible
def getY2 (self):
return self._y
def setY2 (self, value):
self._y = value
def getT (self):
return self._t
def setT (self, value):
self._t = value
def getU (self):
return self._u + 10000
def setU (self, value):
self._u = value - 5000
x, y, y2 = property (getX, setX), property (getY, setY), property (getY2, setY2)
t = property (getT, setT)
u = property (getU, setU)
A.q = 5678
class B:
def getZ (self):
return self.z_
def setZ (self, value):
self.z_ = value
z = property (getZ, setZ)
class C:
def __init__ (self):
self.offset = 1234
def getW (self):
return self.w_ + self.offset
def setW (self, value):
self.w_ = value - self.offset
w = property (getW, setW)
a1 = A ()
a2 = A ()
a1.y2 = 1000
a2.y2 = 2000
a1.x = 5
a1.y = 6
a2.x = 7
a2.y = 8
a1.t = 77
a1.u = 88
print (a1.x, a1.y, a1.y2)
print (a2.x, a2.y, a2.y2)
print (a1.p, a2.p, a1.q, a2.q)
print (a1.t, a1.u)
b = B ()
c = C ()
b.z = 100100
c.z = 200200
c.w = 300300
print (a1.x, b.z, c.z, c.w)
c.w = 400400
c.z = 500500
b.z = 600600
print (a1.x, b.z, c.z, c.w)
