Property Descriptor - Public Getter, Private Setter

[gamehack]

Hi all,

I was looking around the net to figure out how I can use the
property() descriptor to make a property readable by everyone and only
settable by the class or any derived classes. Thanks.

Regards,

Forget it. You can try and come up with an implementation that will check
the stack-frames and try and see if the callers belong to the current
class, or some subclass.

But then if somebody wants to accomplish the setting by all means, he/she
just adds a new setter method to your class, and that's it.

What's your usecase? If you give us that, there might be better suggestions.
