copied!<p>Your code is out of a context so is not obvious the right choice. Following some tips:</p> <ul> <li><p>Don't use <code>NameError</code> exception, it is only used when a name, as the exception itself said, is not found in the local or global scope, use <code>ValueError</code> or <code>TypeError</code> if the exception concerns the value or the type of the parameter;</p></li> <li><p>Don't print error messages. Raise meaningful exceptions with a meaningful error message:</p> <pre><code>raise ValueError("password must be longer than 6 characters") </code></pre></li> <li><p>Returning a value from a setter is meaningless while assignment is not an expression, i.e. you cannot check the value of an assignment:</p> <pre><code>if (user.password = 'short'): ... </code></pre></li> <li><p>Just raise an exception in the setter and let the code that set the property handle it.</p></li> </ul> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>class Test: minlen = 6 @property def password(self): return self._password @password.setter def password(self, value): if not isinstance(value, basestring): raise TypeError("password must be a string") if len(value) < self.minlen: raise ValueError("password must be at least %d character len" % \ self.minlen) self._password = value </code></pre> <p>Look also at <a href="http://forms-project.pollenation.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/formal/types.py#L16" rel="noreferrer">this forms handling library</a>, there the validators , <a href="http://forms-project.pollenation.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/formal/validation.py#L60" rel="noreferrer">here an example</a>, are entities in their own: they can be set dynamically with higher control and less coupled code, but maybe this is much more than you need.</p>
