Clean Code in Python

The idiomatic implementation

We will now look at how to address the questions of the previous section by using a descriptor that is generic enough as to be applied in any class. Again, this example is not really needed because the requirements do not specify such generic behavior (we haven't even followed the rule of three instances of the similar pattern previously creating the abstraction), but it is shown with the goal of portraying descriptors in action.

Do not implement a descriptor unless there is actual evidence of the repetition we are trying to solve, and the complexity is proven to have paid off.

Now, we will create a generic descriptor that, given a name for the attribute to hold the traces of another one, will store the different ...
