Or this, about a squillion times cleaner:

class MyClass(object):

    def _get_bad_name(self):
        warn('"bad_name" deprecated. Please refer to "good_name"', stacklevel=2)
        return self.good_name

    def _set_bad_name(self, bad_name):
        warn('"bad_name" deprecated. Please refer to "good_name"', stacklevel=2)
        self.good_name = bad_name

    def _del_bad_name(self):
        warn('"bad_name" deprecated. Please refer to "good_name"', stacklevel=2)
        del self.good_name

    bad_name = property(_get_bad_name, _set_bad_name, _del_bad_name,
'"bad_name" deprecated. Please refer to "good_name"')
