Use SWIG native way to add properties to Settings[1]. This works with all target languages using the most natural feature available (e.g. properties in Python and C# and get/set methods in Java).
For now only enable this for Python. Other languages are easy as well, except for backward compatibility concerns.
Also, deprecate get/set methods in Python.
