Description
Bug Report
When using PySide6.QtCore.Property, I get a [no-redef] error on the property setter that says it's already defined. If this is a problem that PySide6 needs to fix I will create a bug report there instead.
To Reproduce
from PySide6 import QtCore, QtWidgets
class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
myNum: int = 0
@QtCore.Property(int)
def myProperty(self) -> int:
return self.myNum
@myProperty.setter
def myProperty(self, value: int) -> None:
self.myNum = value
Expected Behavior
If you use a python property, it gives no errors. Using QtCore.Property should also give no errors.
Actual Behavior
test.py:10: error: Name "myProperty" already defined on line 6 [no-redef]
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

Research direction
The reproduction is in test.py, where the QtCore.Property getter and setter trigger [no-redef]. Start by running mypy on that snippet and inspect how stacked property decorators are handled. Done means the PySide6 pattern no longer reports this false positive while ordinary Python properties remain unaffected.
