Would it be possible for attrview to be a property?

Sure. It might conflict with a proper name of an attribute, of course.

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

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

That wouldn't work: you really need to invoke the entire attribute lookup machinery (e.g. to find methods, invoke properties, and so on). Also, for 2.6, it wouldn't support old-style classes.
