Yes, but getting the right spelling will be hard.

Something like... (Probably needs more than this to handle all cases.)

class obj(object): def attrview(self): return self.dict attr = property(attrview)

This doesn't handle descriptors, slots, non-dynamic instance methods, or even objects without a dict . Generally speaking, you need a wrapper object.
