I found a "maybe" way... but I don't know if it's good idea... the
"propertyProxy" instances have a field called "descriptor" which the
"InstrumentedAttribute" don't have... so I can always do this:

--------------------------------------------------
def getProperties4(cls):
        properties = list()

        for varKey in vars(cls):
                varVal = getattr(cls, varKey)
                try:
                        if "descriptor" in vars(varVal):
                                if isinstance(getattr(varVal, "descriptor"), 
property):
                                        properties.append(varKey)
                except TypeError:
                        pass
        print("Properties found: '%s'" % properties)
        return properties
--------------------------------------------------
That works...
        Properties found: '['id', password', 'userName']'

...but I don't really know what I'm exactly touching here... (and how
"dangerous"... or correct it may be)
