Usage:: @setter def source(self, source: str|Path) -> Path: return source if isinstance(source, Path) else Path(source) The setter method is called when the attribute is assigned like:: instance.source = 'example.txt' and the returned value is stored in the instance in an attribute like ``_setter__source``. When the attribute is accessed, the stored value is returned. The above example is equivalent to using the standard ``property`` as follows. The main benefit of using ``setter`` is that it avoids a dummy getter method:: @property def source(self) -> Path: return self._source @source.setter def source(self, source: src|Path): self._source = source if isinstance(source, Path) else Path(source) When using ``setter`` with ``__slots__``, the special ``_setter__xxx`` attributes needs to be added to ``__slots__`` as well. The provided :class:`SetterAwareType` metaclass can take care of that automatically.
