I'm curious as to why this still gets brought up when the obvious syntax is more or less identical to basically all reasonable alternate syntaxes.
I would dispute that anything involving a class statement that creates something other than a class is "obvious".
The "Property" statement that is longer, the existance of get/set/de1 methods, those didn't catch your eye? What if the user plopped in a nice big "__metaclass__ = Property" line? Ugly or not, I find that it has helped me organize (with indentation), not repeat myself, and not have to clean up spare get/set/del methods. I personally prefer it to x = property(...), a property decorator, and a bazillion times more than any property-specific syntax. - Josiah
