[Python-ideas] Should function attributes be properties?

[Joel Bender]

I was expecting this to work:

     class myprop(property):
         def __get__(self, obj, cls): print "get", obj, cls
         def __set__(self, obj, value): print "set", obj, value

     def f(x):
         print 'f'
         f.p

     f.p = myprop()

So it comes out like this:

     >>> f(2)
     f
     get <function f at 0x61270> None

Is this a bug?  Or was it not in the scope of what properties would be 
used for?  Is this PEP material?
