If you're using Python 3.2+, then functools.lru_cache probably
suffices for your needs.

@property
@functools.lru_cache()
def var_lazy(self):
return long_computation()

If you really need to shorten that to a single declaration:

def lazy_property(func):
return property(functools.lru_cache()(func))

And if you're on 2.X, you can grab lru_cache from http://code.activestate.com/recipes/...he-decorators/
