I can do
class Foo(object):
x = property(lambda _: 123)
f = Foo()
f.x
to get 123
However, if I try
p = property(lambda : 123)
p
I get
<property object at 0x108f2f3b8>
Now I understand that an member of a class instance is not the same thing as a regular variable but I'm not sure what exactly makes this behavior different.
Does the fact that you instantiate a class somehow do extra binding on property objects? Is it a special case or is it a behavior I can take advantage in other situations and extend? Related - are property objects useful outside of a class declaration? Or is it just for this specific case?
