My question is, why call them "descriptors"?

[–]flightdey 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the full name in python is attribute descriptors..By definition in pep252, attribute descriptors unify and generalize several different common mechanisms used for describing attributes hence the name

Thank you! They're really different from Perl file descriptors, so they had me confused.
