This in more detail: Imaging mod.py:

import sys

_property = property

class property(property):
    """Python 2.6/3.0 style property"""
    def setter(self, fset):
        cls_ns = sys._getframe(1).f_locals
        for k, v in cls_ns.iteritems():
            if v == self:
                propname = k
                break
        cls_ns[propname] = property(self.fget, fset,
                                    self.fdel, self.__doc__)
        return fset


class Foo(object):
    @property
    def x(self):
        return self._x

    @x.setter
    def x(self, v):
        self._x = v + 1


Now enter the interpreter:
>>> import mod
>>> f = mod.Foo()
>>> f.x = 4
>>> f.x
4

I don't feel like giving up on this now, so close...
