setter method of property decorator not being called

Question

I am trying to use a property method to set the status of a class instance, with the following class definition:

class Result:
    def __init__(self,x=None,y         


        

Answer 1

On Python 2, you must inherit from object for properties to work:

class Result(object):

to make it a new-style class. With that change your code works:

>>> res = Result(5,6)
>>> res.visible
False
>>> res.visible = True
>>> res.currentStatus()
'You can see me!'
