When you inherit from a class with a property, you can provide a new implementation for one or more of the property getter
, setter
or deleter
functions, by referencing the property object on the parent class:
class BaseClass(object):
@property
def foo(self):
return some_calculated_value()
@foo.setter
def foo(self, value):
do_something_with_value(value)
class DerivedClass(BaseClass):
@BaseClass.foo.setter
def foo(self, value):
do_something_different_with_value(value)
You can also add a setter or deleter where there was not one on the base class before.
