I think on ActiveState's Python Cookbook site there was a quite longish solution, too. Then I formulate it more precisely: The "self" parameter is passed to the setters and getters, however, it is not used for calling the "correct" ones. "Correct" seems to be in the eye of the beholder: The Python designers apparently intentionally chose this odd "semi-static" behaviour of "property". But I think a fully virtual behaviour would fit better into the Python mentality, it is easier to explain, and it has more use cases.
