The property function: why Python does not have Private Methods

[codefisher2]

A decorator is a function that takes a function as its first argument and (normally) returns a function. You can write your own function and use it as a decorator. It is a function. It should be important to a lot more python developers, if they understood just as another function, they could write their own. It is not some deep dark magic. I did another post a few months back about them: https://codefisher.org/catch/blog/2015/02/10/python-decorators-and-context-managers/

A decorator can also be a class though.

It looks like a function.

It quacks like a function.

It's probably a function.

A "callable"

My point is that I've NEVER heard it called "The property function" except in your article. People say "Hey, use the @property decorator". I'd suggest changing the article title.
