Are you really using features that require PDF instead of > just writing a web page? For us standard browser users it's a single click, of course. Are you really forced to use an environment that can't start a PDF reader by clicking on a link? I appreciate that some people are disabled in ways that rule out reading a PDF, but since John has gone to some personal trouble to write this document he's surely entitled to choose his medium ... regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 See PyCon Talks from Atlanta 2010 http://pycon.blip.tv/ Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ UPCOMING EVENTS: http://holdenweb.eventbrite.com/

Are you really using features that require PDF instead of > just writing a web page? No, I compose text using a WYSIWYG editor, and I assumed that PDF was a convenient format for others. I've been working on the writeup, and marking it up for use on the Python Wiki. So I've gone ahead and published it: http://wiki.python.org/moin/ComputedAttributesUsingPropertyObjects For good measure, I've also been working on an updated writeup for "property" in the "Built-in Functions" section of the official Python docs. A draft is in HTML format at: http://cl1p.net/jjp_python_property_ref.html/ Thanks for your interest! All comments are most welcome. -John |
