Make a python property with the same name as the class member name

[Ravi]

Is it possible in python to create a property with the same name as
the member variable name of the class. e.g.

Class X:
...
self.i = 10 # marker
...
property(fget = get_i, fset = set_i)

Please tell me how I can do so. Because if I do so, for the statement
at marker I get stack overflow for the assingm

No, because accessing the property and the instance variable are
*syntactically identical* (it's the raison detre of properties) so
there's no way for Python to know which one you mean when.
Typically, people name the variable used internally by the property as
an underscore followed by the property name (e.g. self._i).

Class X:
   ...
   self.i = 10 # marker
   ...
   property(fget = get_i, fset = set_i)
