Check by yourself:

 >>> import inspect
 >>> inspect.isfunction(property)
False
 >>> property()
<property object at 0xb7cbc144>
 >>> dir(property)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__delete__', '__doc__', '__get__', 
'__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__new__', '__reduce__', 
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__set__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 
'fdel', 'fget', 'fset']

One could say the same for each and any of the usual GoldenRules(tm).
