Not a bad idea, but as a change to a builtin it would be covered by the language moratorium. Easy to do in a subclass of property though.
At the moment you do the following, which is a bit ugly:
>>> class Foo(object):
... @property
... def foo(self):
... return 'foo'
...
>>> f = Foo()
>>> Foo.foo.__get__(f)
'foo'
The reason for wanting to do this are the same reasons as you would call an unbound method.
Or this which is still slightly ugly but at least gets rid of the magic method call:>>> Foo.foo.fget(f)
>>> class Foo(object):
... @property
... def foo(self):
... return 'foo'
...
>>> f = Foo()
'foo'
