Override synthesized member’s accessors¶

One can override the synthesized member’s accessors by simply explicitly writing the methods.

One can override the synthesized property by simply explicitly writing the properties.

Remark: For the moment, it’s impossible to override the property’s setter without overriding the getter.

One can use synthesized constructors to initialize members and properties values and still override it to implement some additional processing.

Example:

@synthesize_constructor()
@synthesize_property('value')
class Double:
    def __init__(self):
        self._value *= 2

print(Double(10).value)

Displays

The custom constructor can consume extra arguments (not synthesized members or properties).
