I have several properties on a class that have very similar behavior.
If one of the properties is set, all the other properties need to be
set to None.  So I wanted to create these properties in a loop like:

class Test(object):
        for prop in ['foo', 'bar', 'spam']:
                # Attribute that data is actually stored in
                field = '_' + prop
                # Create getter/setter
                def _get(self):
                        return getattr(self, field)
                def _set(self, val):
                        setattr(self, field, val)
                        for otherProp in prop:
                                if otherProp != prop: setattr(self, '_' + 
otherProp, None)
                # Assign property to class
                setattr(Test, prop, property(_get, _set))

t = Test()
t.foo = 1
assert t.bar == t.spam == None

But the class Test is not defined yet, so I can't set a property on
it.  How can I do this?
