OOP: getter/setter methods [duplicate]

Answer 1

I wouldn't access attributes of an object in methods of said object by a different way than what I would expect methods from other objects to access them. Why? I'm not sure, it just seems very weird.

Python makes this really easy if you use the properties decorator which eliminates the need for getters/setters named like "get_foo" / "set_foo".

Answer 2

In python do not use getter/setter methods. Instead just access the attribute itself, or, if you need code to be run every time the attribute is accessed or set, use properties.
