Posted too soon. Played with the above and got something which works.


def make_property( func ):
     return property( *func() )

class C(object):

     def __init__(self):
         __x= 1

     @make_property
     def x():
         def getx(self): return self.__x
         def setx(self, value): self.__x = value
         def delx(self): del self.__x
         return getx,setx,delx

c= C()
c.x= 5
n= c.x + 5

Good idea, or bad?
