Python question?

1.What is the difference between a Python property and a Python attribute?
2.What is the name of Paul's grandmother's dead dog that shares Paul's birthday?
3.Name at least one of Paul's cousin's parent's sister's sons. You may find a tree structure helpful here.
4.Why is list.pop(0) slow for large lists?
5.State the number of times that you have visited Paul's office hours. Your answer must be accurate, and your mark corresponds directly to your answer.

This is a tough one. attributes I do know you get with the dot notation. eg

print objectname.attrname

whereas property is more like a function (method??) python is crazy because a function can call the same function it's running in. But a property gets (or sets) a group of attributes of your design. And python has property function at all times on the built-ins.

class C(object):
def getx(self): return self.__x
def setx(self, value): self.__x = value
def delx(self): del self.__x
x = property(getx, setx, delx, "I'm the 'x' property.")
=========
the python property

>>> print property.__doc__
property(fget=None, fset=None, fdel=None, doc=None) -> property attribute

Your question scared me to death because I thought I knew some python...

===============

this is all I could find in the trivia questions:

a 2001 April Fool's Day joke by van Rossum and Larry Wall involving the merger of Python with Perl was dubbed "Parrot" after the Dead Parrot Sketch. The name "Parrot" was later used for a project to develop a virtual machine for running bytecode for interpreted languages such as Perl and Python.
