well, mostly syntactic sugar.
But I realize that qt often names the getter method the same way as the 
property itself, which generates a naming conflict if you want to expose
both in python.

So the suggestion would have to be to *only* expose the property (and
escape the getter method name):

class QWidget(object):

     def getCaption(self):
          #...

     def _caption(self): #escape with '_'
          #...

     caption = property(_caption, getCaption)




But as that would not be backward compatible I guess it's not an
option...
