Python:@property decorator has Maximum recursion error

Question

I am new to OOPS and testing property decorator. This is working fine with the string type but for an integer, it is failing with Maximum recursion error when property for age.Did anyone come across recursion code?. I have seen a post to add an object in the syntax for the class but it didn't help much.

class person(object):
    def __init__(self, first, last, age=0):
        self.first = first
        self.last = last
        self.age = age


    @property
    def e_mail(self):
        self.email = self.first+'.'+self.last+'@example.com'
        return self.email

    @e_mail.setter
    def e_mail(self,first,last):
        self.first=first
        self.last=last


    @property
    def age(self):
        return self.age

    @age.setter
    def age(self,age):
        self.age = age * 10


x=person('john', 'abc', 5)
print(x.first)
print(x.last)
print(x.e_mail)
print(x.__dict__)
x.first='jj'
x.age=10
print(x.__dict__)

Error message:

I have found some additional information on the stack overflow on the setter behavior and this works. This also explains why recursion is happening. infinite recursion in python3.3 setter

Based on the suggestion, I have updated my code..Thank you for taking a look at it.

Here is the updated snippet

  @property
    def age(self):
        return self._age

    @age.setter
    def age(self,val):
        self._age = val * 10
