class listenable_property(listenable_property_base, property)

Property attribute.

fget function to be used for getting an attribute value fset function to be used for setting an attribute value fdel function to be used for del'ing an attribute doc docstring

Typical use is to define a managed attribute x:

class C(object): def getx(self): return self._x def setx(self, value): self._x = value def delx(self): del self._x x = property(getx, setx, delx, "I'm the 'x' property.")

Decorators make defining new properties or modifying existing ones easy:

class C(object): @property def x(self): "I am the 'x' property." return self._x @x.setter def x(self, value): self._x = value @x.deleter def x(self): del self._x
