While the bindings outwardly presents their attributes in a Pythonic way, they can't always be interacted with in a Pythonic style. Often the getters/setters is actually a translation step to convert values between Python and C.\n\nIn this specific example, the setter makes sure that the Python list elements are packages in a contiguous memory for C consumption. The getter returns a copy of each element in a Python list. Both behaviors are unnatural for Python users and we should document that there's an emphasis to use the getter/setter directly.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/vzhurba01","@type":"Person","name":"vzhurba01"},"datePublished":"2024-12-03T22:29:04Z","url":"https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/issues/262"}
