Python: How to make object attribute refer call a method

Question

I\'d like for an attribute call like object.x to return the results of some method, say object.other.other_method(). How can I do this?

Answer 1

Use the property decorator

class Test(object): # make sure you inherit from object
    @property
    def x(self):
        return 4

p = Test()
p.x # returns 4

Mucking with the __dict__ is dirty, especially when @property is available.
