class A: class __metaclass__(type): _shared = 42 def get_shared(self): return self.__class__._shared def set_shared(self, value): print "%r --> %r" % (self._shared, value) self.__class__._shared = value shared = property(get_shared, set_shared) def get_shared(self): return self.__class__.shared def set_shared(self, value): self.__class__.shared = value shared = property(get_shared, set_shared) Does that what you want?
