This is an unusual enough pattern, that it probably warrants a comment explaining it. (Just a simple# Override the axes property setter and potentially# Call the superclass property setter)

Itworks, and is probably about the best you can do to override the property setter/call the super-class version of the property setter.

Some things I thought about which would have made some sense to me, but don't seem to work in this context:

• using@MyLine.axes.setter (MyLine is not available at class instantiation time)
  • I worried a bit about the setter accidentally overriding the parent classes setter, but that doesnot happen)
• usingsuper().axes.fset(new_axes) (super().axes resoves to the return of the getter, not the property descriptor)
