example.py

class Example(object):
    @property
    def foo(self):
        return 'bar'

    @property
    def boom(self):
        raise AttributeError

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        return 'Trying to get the {0} property.'.format(name)

v = Example()

print v.foo
>>> 'bar'

print v.boom
>>> 'Trying to get the boom property.'
