### 2.13 Properties
Use properties for accessing or setting data where you would normally have used
simple, lightweight accessor or setter methods.
Properties may be used to control getting or setting attributes that require
trivial, but unsurprising, computations or logic. Property implementations must
match the general expectations of regular attribute access: that they are cheap,
straightforward, and unsurprising.

#### 2.13.4 Decision
Use properties in new code to access or set data where you would normally have
used lightweight accessor or setter methods. Properties should be created with
the `@property` [decorator](#s2.17-function-and-method-decorators).
Properties are allowed, but, like operator overloading, should only be used when
necessary and match the expectations of typical attribute access; follow the
[getters and setters](#getters-and-setters) rules otherwise.
For example, using a property to simply both get and set an internal attribute
isn't allowed: there is no computation occurring, so the property is unnecessary
([make it public instead](#getters-and-setters)). In comparison, using a
property to control attribute access, or calculate a *trivially* derived value,
is allowed: the logic is trivial, but unsurprising.
Properties should be created with the `@property`
[decorator](#s2.17-function-and-method-decorators). Manually implementing a
property descriptor is considered a [power feature](#power-features).
Inheritance with properties can be non-obvious if the property itself is not
overridden. Thus one must make sure that accessor methods are called indirectly

### 3.15 Accessors
If an accessor function would be trivial, you should use public variables
instead of accessor functions to avoid the extra cost of function calls in
Python. When more functionality is added you can use `property` to keep the
syntax consistent.
<a id="getters-and-setters"></a>
### 3.15 Getters and Setters
On the other hand, if access is more complex, or the cost of accessing the
variable is significant, you should use function calls (following the
[Naming](#s3.16-naming) guidelines) such as `get_foo()` and `set_foo()`. If the
past behavior allowed access through a property, do not bind the new accessor
functions to the property. Any code still attempting to access the variable by
the old method should break visibly so they are made aware of the change in
complexity.
Getter and setter functions (also called accessors and mutators) should be used
when they provide a meaningful role or behavior for getting or setting a
variable's value.
In particular, they should be used when getting or setting the variable is
complex or the cost is significant, either currently or in a reasonable future.
If, for example, a pair of getters/setters simply read and write an internal
attribute, the internal attribute should be made public instead. By comparison,
if setting a variable means some state is invalidated or rebuilt, it should be a
setter function. The function invocation hints that a potentially non-trivial
operation is occurring. Alternatively, [properties](#properties) may be an
option when simple logic is needed, or refactoring to no longer need getters and
setters.
Getters and setters should follow the [Naming](#s3.16-naming) guidelines, such
as `get_foo()` and `set_foo()`.
If the past behavior allowed access through a property, do not bind the new
getter/setter functions to the property. Any code still attempting to access the
variable by the old method should break visibly so they are made aware of the
change in complexity.
