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.
