The sample code is:
class C(object):
def __init__(self):
self._x = None
@property
def x(self):
"""I'm the 'x' property."""
print("getter of x called")
return self._x
@x.setter
def x(self, value):
print("setter of x called")
self._x = value
@x.deleter
def x(self):
print("deleter of x called")
del self._x
c = C()
c.x = 'foo' # setter called
foo = c.x # getter called
del c.x # deleter called
