What do you think about this syntax?

class EasyExample: _a = 0.0 property a: """doc string """ def get(self) -> float: return self._a def set(self, value): self._a = float(value) def delete(self): del self._a

I'm pretty sure Guido's said before that he doesn't like the get/set/del methods being indented more than other instance methods would be. If you really like this style, you can get something like it today using inner classes:
