I like Greg's proposal to use the throw-away name:

      postdef x = property(scope.get, scope.set, scope.delete)
      class scope:
          def get(self):
              return __class__.attr
          def set(self, val):
              __class__.attr = val
          def delete(self):
              del __class__.attr
