Can you not overload the assignment = to automatically call whatever fancy setter you want to use? Then you get the simplicity I crave and the safety you desire?

Yes, you can make it a 'property'.

No, No. 'property' works with instances of some class, but not with modules. This is a feature I miss from Python. You cannot 'hook' on attribute assignments in modules. -- Lisandro Dalc�n --------------- Centro Internacional de M�todos Computacionales en Ingenier�a (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnol�gico para la Industria Qu�mica (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient�ficas y T�cnicas (CONICET) PTLC - G�emes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594
