Overwrite only one function with property()

[Kai Kuehne]

Hi list!
It is possible to overwrite only one function with the property-function?

x = property(getx, setx, delx, 'doc')

I just want to overwrite setx, but when I set the others to None,
I can't read and del the member. Any ideas or is this not possible?

Thank you!
Kai

There are no default functions for getx, setx, delx; you have to
specify what you expect to happen when you write a.p, a.p = v and del
a.p, respectively. What would, for example, be the default getx that
you don't want to overwrite ?

Do you want to override the setter of an existing property, in a
derived class?

property is not function, it's a class. And it doesn't "overwrite" anything.

x = property(getx, setx, delx, 'doc')

I can't read and del the member.

You don't "overwrite" setx, you pass it as an argument to the property
constructor call.
