Python Accessing Remote w/ "@property" decorator

Ray Core

How do I access “attributes” that have been generated via @property decorator? This is a very simple example below but I routinely use @property on “attribute-esque” variables that do not perform a function.

Does not work (if you remove @property from greeting works fine).

import ray


@ray.remote
class Child(object):
    def __init__(self):
        from faker import Faker
        self.name = Faker().name()
        self.age = 1

    def grow(self):
        self.age += 1
        return self.age

    @property
    def greeting(self):
        return (
            f'My name is {self.name} '
            f'and I am {self.age} years old'
        )


if __name__ == '__main__':
    children = [Child.remote() for i in range(10)]
    print(children)
    futures = [c.greeting.remote() for c in children]
    print(futures)
    for future in ray.get(futures):
        print(future)

Better yet is there any way to access properties of remote actors or only through methods?

As far as I know, we don’t support this. cc @ericl for confirmation.
