By contrast, I use it a far bit (though still far less than non-property
methods). Generally for derived properties which are:
- cheap to compute i.e. O(1)
- which I want to abstract
- usually represent some property which is stable, such as a size
- occasionally (much more rarely) a property which is not stable,
But why a property rather than a simple method?
Why is
k = url.key
better than
k = url.key()
for meeting those criteria?
