I hope you'll wait until the properties thing is implemented a bit 
better in Python, and without all the caveats.  I started 
implementing a version of the experimental webware codebase I'm 
working that used properties, but it was a nightmare.  It broke so 
many subtle and unexpected things that I wouldn't recommend changing 
any existing large python project to properties yet.
