properties *are* class attributes.

You could write your own custom descriptor. Or just use an additional 
level of indirection, ie:

    myProperty = property(lambda self: self.myClassMethod())


but since you already have myClassMethod available, I don't see the 
point. What problem are you trying to solve exactly ?
