[Pypgsql-users] coding question

[Mignon L. <mig...@ya...>]

Hy,

In your python abstraction layer (pgsql.py) you directly access the __dict__ .  If I understand the code, you use this mechanism in conjunction of the overriding of __setattr__ to control the acces to some attributes that you want  readonly.  
I can understand that that was in the past the only way to control access to some attributes. Today, python allow you to define property and to control access to a variable through getter and setter ... 
The fact that the code access direclyt to the __dict__ is a problem for me when I use this module in threads running in restricted mode (access is denied!).  Can I rewrite the code to use property and avoid the access to the __dict__. Do you think that it is a good thing?
