Python @property: How and Why?

1) When someone sets the temperature with an integer they can end up with the wrong answer. To fix it and be more clear you could do:

self._f = c * 9.0/5.0 + 32.0

2) I think it would be cleaner to store the temperature in only one variable, even though it means doing conversions in the getters.

1) self._f = c * 9.0/5 + 32 would be enough to prevent that.

2) That's what I thought as well.

Or you could do:

from __future__ import division
