Is there a convention for naming:
1.- the property method: in the example below, " def get_number (...)". Is that a good name? Should it be another one?
2.- the setter: in the example below "get_number.setter". Does it has always to be <PropertyMethod>.setter ?
3.- the setter method: in the example below: "def number (...)". Is it ok to use the variable name as the method?
class Contact:
def __init__(self, in_number):
self._number = in_number
@property
def get_number(self):
return self._number
@get_number.setter
def number(self, value):
self._number = value
I haven't find it in the documentation.
Answering my question:
class Contact:
def __init__(self, in_number):
self._number = in_number
@property
def my_number(self): #1
return self._number
@my_number.setter #2
def my_number(self, value): #3
self._number = value
esther = Contact(6)
print(esther.my_number)
esther.my_number = 8
print(esther.my_number)
#1 This method name can be watever you want to be, as long as it has sense for retrieving the value of the private variable.
#2 the @setter has to have the same name as the property method
#3 The setter method can be named as wished, but for it to make sense for the user, use the same name as the @property method
