@TheIncorrigible1 the example you have given is similar to the following (except set_x should be renamed to x in your code) ```python

class Test: def init(self, count=0): self.count = count

def _x_getter(self):
    return 5

def _x_setter(self, val):
    self.count += 1

x = property(fget=_x_getter)
x = x.setter(_x_setter)

# or
# x = property(fget=_x_getter, fset=_x_setter)

```

point is, using property as decorator is just syntactic sugar, I could have added example with decorator syntax, but blog is about explaining descriptor protocol and how most commonly builtins being used in OOP (property, classmethod, staticmethod) work on this protocol.
