I don't remember seeing much code using function properties. I would
probably just create a new decorator for this.

    >>> def add_props(**kwargs):
    ...     def _(func):
    ...         for key in kwargs:
    ...             setattr(func, key, kwargs[key])
    ...         return func
    ...     return _
    ...
    >>> @add_props(printable=True)
    ... def f():
    ...     """Example function"""
    ...
    >>> f.printable
    True
    >>>
