'property' builtin does not work for me

[Alex Fainshtein]

Question: what I am doing wrong? Here, I am defining class with property
member:

class Test:

    def getter(self):
        print "Getter called."
        return 'a'

    def setter(self, val):
        print "Setter called."

    prop = property(getter, setter)

Then testing it:

>>> t = Test()
>>> t.prop
Getter called.
'a'
>>> t.prop = 'b'
>>> t.prop
'b'
>>>

As you see, getter works properly. But when assigning to property, setter is
not called, as I would expect. prop is simply replaced with whatever is
assigned and ceased being a property.
