I've often been frustrated by the inability of the built-in property
descriptor to handle anything other than a read-only property when
used as a decorator. Furthermore, read/write/delete properties take
their doc-string and property definition at a non-intuitive and
awkward place (after the getter/setter/delter functions). The
following are three possible solutions to this problem (inspired by
messagehttp://groups.google.c om/group/comp.lang.pytho n/msg/9a56da7ca8ceb7c 7).
I don't like the solution in that thread because it uses apply() which
will go away in Python 3.

I didn't read the rest of the thread, but I think Python 2.6 may have
want you want:

class A(object):

@property
def my_prop(): return self._prop

@my_prop.setter
def my_prop(prop): self._prop = prop

@my_prop.delete r
def my_prop(): del self._prop

Hmm, interesting. I wonder if it suppports setting the doc-string in a
similar way? I'll have to look into that. Thanks for pointing this
out.

It takes the getter's docstring as usual.
