I believe the property function is what you are looking for.  e.g.

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.setval(val)

    def getval(self):
        return self._val

    def setval(self, val):
        assert(isinstance(val, int))
        self._val = val

    _val = property(self.getval, self.setval)
