Nick, and everybody else trying to find a "solution" for this
"problem", please don't. There's nothing wrong with having the three
accessor methods explicitly in the namespace, it's clear, and probably
less typing (and certainly less indenting!). Just write this:
class C:
def getFoo(self): ...
def setFoo(self): ...
foo = property(getFoo, setFoo)
