For some columns I want to process it a bit before getting or setting it. 
For example, I have a column Status, but have to call it _Status to avoid 
name conflict with its property.

class Task(Base):
    _Status = Column('Status')

@property
def Status(self):
    return f(self._Status)

@Status.setter
def Status(self, value):
    self._Status = value

Now whenever I write a query involving Status I must remember to use 
_Status. If I accidentally use Status in a query, it adds WHERE 0 = 1, thus 
returning nothing, so it fails and I don't know why.

I'm converting from SQLObject where you can call the column Status and 
define getter and setter by defining functions _get_Status and _set_Status. 
When I access Status in a query SQLObject knows to use the Column and 
outside a query it uses _get_Status.

How can I get this behaviour with SQLObject?
