Python Getter and Setter Methods: A Comprehensive Guide

In Python, getter and setter methods are not typically used as they are in other programming languages. However, you can define them as methods in a class to manipulate the attributes of an object.

Here is an example:

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self._name = name
        self._age = age

    def get_name(self):
        return self._name

    def set_name(self, name):
        self._name = name

    def get_age(self):
        return self._age

    def set_age(self, age):
        self._age = age

person = Person('John', 30)
print(person.get_name())
person.set_name('Jane')
print(person.get_name())

In this example, we define a class 'Person' with two attributes, 'name' and 'age'. We also define getter and setter methods for each attribute.

The getter methods return the value of the attribute, and the setter methods set the value of the attribute.

We can create a 'Person' object and use the getter and setter methods to manipulate its attributes. In this case, we get the name of the person, set the name to 'Jane', and then get the name again to verify that it has been changed.
