I don't think so - the reason is that property(<getter>) is evaluated in the baseclass, and stores a callable, not a name. the only thing you could do is either
- create a level of indirection, using lambda, to force the lookup: x = property(lamda self: self.get_x()) - use a metaclass, that tries to scan the baseclass for properties that uise functionnames which are redefined in the current class, and recrerate a new property for those.
