... Had Guido suggested the alternative slot syntaxes back at the start of November I would have used one of the alternative syntaxes instead of creating a new builtin function.

Guido said several times during 2.2 development that he didn't like using builtin functions for some of the new class features, but that syntax issues were off the table before 2.3 because there wasn't time to address them for 2.2. He didn't repeat this every time it was brought up, though; you can't imagine how pressed for time we all were, and Guido especially.

class Foo(object): property myprop: """A computed property on Foo objects."""

def get(self): return ... def set(self): ... def delete(self):

Is someone working on an implementation of this?

Not within PythonLabs at present.
