Hi Greg,

necessary? No.
Actually the first version I had took exactly the approach you suggested (read-only attributes).
I guess, using PyQt4 lately I followed their convention.
Also using methods makes it more explicit that the values are read-only.
But I agree that adding the parenthesis is more verbose.
Let me think about it (or get some more feedback), but I feel inclined to rule in your favour :)

Cheers for the feedback,

Lorenz
