For getters and setters, I like this:

class Foo(object):
    @apply
    def bar():
        def fget(self):
            return self.whatever
        def fset(self, value):
            self.whatever = value
        return property(**locals())

fdel and doc can be added if needed.
And, if the "**locals()" seems too magical "fget, fset" can be substituted.
