Re: [chirp_devel] Using Python properties

While making some changes to the Platform class, I realized the code could probably be simplified by removing some getters and using properties instead. However, to make that change, the Platform class needs to be derived from Object, which converts it to a new style class.

This appears to be a safe change, but I wanted to get other opinions before I did that.

Yep, that's fine with me. If you're going to do that, I'd like to see it done in small pieces, changing one getter to a property at a time, along with all the other changes required to the rest of the code. I'd also like to see unit tests come with that to make sure we're good going forward :)
