Properties is fine and was one of the options that I suggested.
However I didn't mean you should have modifying member
fun

Ah, yes. You hit the hail on the nead there, Kent. Thanks for
clarifying that for me.

Supposing I have a class like this:
class wiimote(object):
def __init__(self):

def updateLEDs(self):
do_stuff()#write correct output report to wiimote to toggle LEDs.
So basically what I want to do is that whenever the self.leds variable
is changed,
