class property methods getting called only once

[jm.suresh]

In the following code, I could not find out why the set and get methods
are not called once I set the property.

>>class Test:

.... def __init__(self):
.... self._color = 12
.... def _setcolor(self, value):
.... print 'setting'
.... self._color = value
.... def _getcolor(self) :
.... print 'getting'
.... return self._color
.... color = property(_getco lor,_setcolor)
....

>>a = Test()
a.color

getting
12

>>a.color = 22
a.color

22

For some reason the set method is not getting called at all, Anybody
has any clue?

thanks.

property can only be used in New Style Class. So you should write your Test as:

class Test(object):

And try again.
