Indeed, and I've been using it! There is also the "clumsy and obscure" method of adding properties to modules discussed in PEP 549 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0549/>: import sys, types class _MyModuleType(types.ModuleType): @property def prop(self, instance, owner): ... sys.modules[__name__].__class__ = _MyModuleType This would allow creating a module with managed attribute access AND setting behaviors. I wonder if this kind of approach might help the folks who want to be able to manage variable getting and setting behavior outside of a class namespace--- you could write a module that makes all of its variables behave just the way you want, and import it like so: import managed_variables_module as m m.x = 1 <-- magic print(m.x)<-- magic I'll bow out of this discussion now, as I don't have much to add. This was just a thought.
