I’m playing around with Python properties and was curious about the setter.

Using the @property decorator, I can easily set both getter and setter:

class Testing:
    def __init__(self,value):
        self.value = value
    @property
    def thing(self):
        return self.value * 2
    @thing.setter
    def thing(self,value):
        self.value = value * 3

I’ve tried to follow this pattern without the decorator:

class Testing:
    def __init__(self,value):
        self.value = value
    def getthing(self):
        return self.value * 2
    def setthing(self,value):
        self.value = value * 3
    thing = property(getthing)
    #   setter?

I know I can set both using property(getthing,setthing), but is it possible to set the setter separately? This is partly to get to know the property() function better, but also because it might be possible to change to a different property later.
