Perhaps this (but how could it be implemented?):

 class Foo(object):
     __slots__ = docslots(
         ('slot1': 'description'),
         ('slot2':

How about:

class Foo(object):
   docslots(slot1='description',
            slot2=("Some really long\n"
                   "multi-line description."),
            ...)

The implementation for docslots() would either provide or update slots, and defining properities for slots with munged names. This wouldn't actually be difficult to implement, though is would require a sys._getframe() hack.
In fact, you could crib from the attached sample. ;-)
