From: "Neil Schemenauer" <nas@python.ca>

It would be really cool if this worked:

import time now = property(lambda m: time.time()) Obviously a silly example but I hope the idea is clear. Is there a reason this couldn't be made to work?

it does not work any less than:

import time class C(object): pass ... c=C() c.new=property(lambda o: time.time()) c.new <property object at 0x00796FE0>

modules are instances of a types, not types.

So the issue is about instance-level property apart the module thing details.
