gistfile1.py

class classproperty(property):
    def __get__(self, cls, inst):
        return self.fget.__get__(None, inst)()


class MyClass(object):
    
    numbers = [1,2,3,4,5]

    @classproperty
    @classmethod
    def has_numbers(cls):
        return len(cls.numbers) > 0

# no instance of MyClass has been created
if MyClass.has_numbers:
    print 'yay!, we have numbers!'
