There is no such thing as @properymethod

After you change the code to use @property, try writing it in the
interactive interpreter and calling A().value2(). Then try calling
A().value1() .

Or maybe try googling for it. The fourth result for "property python"
for me is http://adam.gomaa.us/blog/2008/aug/11/the-python-property-builtin/

It is kind of funny that the docs don't ever explicitly say what a
property is. http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#property
