Python property with public getter and private setter

Question

I have a python property like this:

class Foo:

    @property
    def maxInputs(self):
        return self._persistentMaxInputs.value

    @maxInputs.setter
             


        

Answer 1

I use two properties in a case where I have a public property with private setter. It does create some redundant code, but I end up following the convention with decorators. See example below:

@property
def current_dir(self) -> str:
    """
    Gets current directory, analogous to `pwd`
    :return: Current working directory
    """
    return self._current_dir

@property
def _current_dir(self) -> None:
    return self._current_dir

@_current_dir.setter
def _current_dir(self, path:str) -> None:
    self._current_dir = path
