Anyone know where the source code for the built-in property function
Actually, it's a class, not a function.
is located in a python distribution?
property being a builtin type, you should find it somewhere in the CPython's C source AFAICT.
I would like to see how it works - mainly, how does it know which class it is being called from?
No need to look at the source for this - it's just an application of the descriptor protocol. Look up the doc on python.org, or google for python descriptor protocol. FWIW, it's the same protocol that is used for turning functions into methods, and writing your own custom descriptors is trivial.
