As others have already replied, the default property doesn't work this
way. In your example, it is possible to write it in one line using
lambda:

class Person(object):

    age = property(fget=lambda self: self._age,
                   fset=lambda self, value: setattr(self,'_age',value))

If any of fget,fset,fdel cannot be written as lambda or you'd rather
write them as functions, you may use the recipe at
