Easy -- in your class's body, just code:

  def getFoo(self): ...
  def setFoo(self, value): ...
  def delFoo(self): ...
  foo = property(getFoo, setFoo, delFoo, 'this is the foo')


Note that if you want subclasses to be able to customize behavior of foo
accesses by simple method overrides, you need to program some "hooks"
(an extra level of indirection, if you will).
