How about:

    class Foo(object):
       docslots(slot1='description',
                slot2=("Some really long\n"
                       "multi-line description."),
                ...)

The implementation for docslots() would either provide or update __slots__, 
and defining properities for slots with munged names.  This wouldn't actually 
be difficult to implement, though is would require a sys._getframe() hack.  
In fact, you could crib from the attached sample.  ;-)
