🔒 Trying to understand Descriptors in Python

[strong sinew]

class Ten:
    def __get__(self, obj, objtype=None):
        return 10

Why the __get__ to know if the attribute have been called?

What differs from something like this?

class Ten:
    def get_ten(self, obj, objtype=None):
        return 10

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

get_ten is not gonna be called when the object is gotten as an attribute...
