I'm doing something similar to the following
class Parrot(object): def __init__(self): self.__voltage = 100000 @property def voltage(self): """Get the current voltage.""" return self.__voltage However it sees the voltage property as an int so when I call like so
p = Parrot() print(p.voltage()) I get
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable I've tried with one and two underscored to mangle the voltage property name.
The whole point of the getter is that it returns the value without being called. p.voltage returns the integer object, so running p.voltage() is equivalent to 100() or something.
There can still be cases where you want to call the value of a property, like if the value is itself a function. But you don't need it here.
codep.voltage(50)code?
p.voltage = 50 - the point of Python properties is to support attributes that use the same syntax as simple attributes but can have arbitrary code that gets executed when they're accessed or set.
voltage.setter decorator on another method defined in the class after the getter that is named voltage and expects self and a value argument.
