Linking from the FAQ means changing the official Python documentation, which requires lots of hoop-jumping-through. I suggest that we content ourselves with using the Wiki -- at least for now. > > Thanks for doing the grunt work. Pas de quoi. -John

PS : Do you think it could be possible to add link to this page from the relevant FAQ items ? http://www.python.org/doc/faq/programming/#what-is-a-method http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-must-self-be-used-explicitly-in-method-definitions-and-calls

I like it too, thanks to both of you! I have two small ideas for improvement: - Swap the first two paragraphs. First say what it is, and then give the motivation. - The section about the descriptor protocol is a bit difficult to understand. But judging from the official descriptor documentation, it seems to be hard to explain: The official documentation is nearly incomprehensible (IMHO).

No problem -- since this is a Wiki, you can perform the swap yourself! (If you haven't done it in a day or so, I'll do the deed.) > - The section about the descriptor protocol is a bit difficult to > understand.

I empathize -- it took me a while to grok descriptors. I was thinking today about "doing a Bruno", and producing similar pieces on: * properties created with the @property decorator * the descriptor protocol I'll try to produce something over the next couple of days. -John |
