Me too, I never use properties directly. However I have experimented with using helper functions to generate the properties: _dic = {} def makeproperty(x): def getx(self): return _dic[self, x] def setx(self, value): _dic[self, x] = value return property(getx, setx) class C(object): x = makeproperty('x') c = C() c.x = 1 print c.x But in general I prefer to write a custom descriptor class, since it gives me much more control.
