Sick problem with Python properties

[webmaster]

See the following code. I wonder why in this case neither
setp() nor getp() is called !?


yetix@/home/ajung(1)% cat test.py
class A:

def __init__(self):
self._p=None

def setp(self, p):
print 'set'
self._p = p*p

def getp(self):
print 'get'
return self._p

pp = property(getp, setp)


inst=A()
inst.p = 9
print inst.p

yetix@/home/ajung(2)% python2.3 test.py
9

Cheers,
