condense pyqtproperties

I'm writing a script in Python and have a bit of a problem:

class LightDMUser(QObject):
  def __init__(self, user):
    super(LightDMUser, self).__init__()
    self.user = user

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def background(self):      return self.user.get_background()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def display_name(self):    return self.user.get_display_name()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def has_messages(self):    return self.user.get_has_messages()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def home_directory(self):  return self.user.get_home_directory()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def image(self):           return self.user.get_image()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def language(self):        return self.user.get_language()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def layout(self):          return self.user.get_layout()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def layouts(self):         return self.user.get_layouts()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def logged_in(self):       return self.user.get_logged_in()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def name(self):            return self.user.get_name()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def real_name(self):       return self.user.get_real_name()

  @pyqtProperty(QVariant)
  def session(self):         return self.user.get_session()

As you can see, this code is horribly redundant. I tried condensing it like this:

class LightDMUser(QObject):
  attributes = ['background', 'display_name', 'has_messages', 'home_directory', 'image', 'language', 'layout', 'layouts', 'logged_in', 'name', 'real_name', 'session']

  def __init__(self, user):
    super(LightDMUser, self).__init__()
    self.user = user

    for attribute in self.attributes:
      setattr(self, attribute, pyqtProperty(QVariant, getattr(self.user, 'get_' + attribute)))

PyQt4, however, expects the class methods to be present for the class itself, not an instance. Moving the setattr code out of the __init__ block didn't work either because self wasn't defined for the class, so I don't really know what to do.

Can anyone see a way to condense this code?
