Eh, never mind. The following works today, so the semantics I proposed are 
actually fine. (This is exactly the semantics proposed for the property example)

Py> class C(object):
...   def _x():
...     def get(self):
...       print "Hi!"
...     def set(self, value):
...       print "Hi again!"
...     def delete(self):
...       print "Bye"
...     return property(get, set, delete)
...   x = _x()
...
Py> C.x
<property object at 0x009E6738>
Py> C().x
Hi!
Py> C().x = 1
Hi again!
Py> del C().x
Bye

Cheers,
Nick.
