Please don't do that. The Python way is to use direct access to instance 
variables unless there's a good reason not to.

Is there some reason why you want to run get/set code for every instance 
variable access, or are you just experimenting to see whether it can be 
done?

It seems particularly odd to want to put getters and setters behind 
property access. What does the extra layer buy you?
