I don't use properties in Python very often (hardly ever in fact) 
and I've never used @setter so there may be naming requirements 
I'm not aware of. But in general I'd avoid having two methods with 
the same name.

Try renaming the setter to setX() or somesuch and see if you 
get the same error.

Just a thought.
