Disregarding potential implementation obstacles I think it would be clean 
and clear if you could access a property foo in a base class with 

super().foo

and set it with

super().foo = value

It looks like the get part already works:

>>> class A:
...     @property
...     def foo(self): return "foo"
... 
>>> class B(A):
...     @property
...     def foo(self): return super().foo.upper()
... 
>>> A().foo
'foo'
>>> B().foo
'FOO'
