There's no need to put such a small piece of code into an external 
repository.

If I were to implement something like this I'd probably use the old trick 
with nested functions:

def getset(f):
    funcs = f()
    return property(funcs.get("get"), funcs.get("set"))

class A(object):
    @getset
    def attr():
        def get(self):
            print("accessing attr")
            return self._attr
        def set(self, value):
            print("setting attr to {}".format(value))
            self._attr = value
        return locals()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = A()
    a.attr = 42
    print(a.attr)

This has been around awhile, but I don't see widespread adoption...
