Description Tomeu Vizoso 2008-03-19 12:16:33 UTC

If you try to do so, you'll get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

```

```
" or getter. This is not allowed" % (cls,))
```

TypeError: GObject subclass <class '__main__.Child'> defines do_get/set_property and it also uses a property which a custom setter or getter. This is not allowed


Will attach a test case.
