No. Python's syntax does not work that way. Why would you want to? For
more information about this, read:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
You can create properties on classes which call a function when you get,
set or delete them.
class Test (object):
def _getX (self):
return self.__x
def _setX (self, value):
self.__x = value
x = property(fget=_getX, fset=_setX)
t = Test()
t.x = 1
print t.x
Note that this is almost completely different to what you asked about.
