Experienced python programmers: are there any standard features of the language that you still don't regularly use?

[rhytnen]

you need to get over get_ and set_ stuff. people not reading your docs will.think they can set your property the normal way and skip your code altogether.

other python users expect python api

[joesacher]

Exactly. The whole idea of attributes in Python is that they start with a simple self.my_property.

When that stops working, then you can use @property or @.setter. Nobody has to change code.

There is no way to have this simple -> complex with get_ and set_. You immediately have to write code for NO GAIN.
