I have tried:

#+begin_example
  #+PROPERTY: header-args:python :tangle yes :dir 
  /home/joost/tmp/dlpy
#+end_example

which AFAICT is the syntax shown in the info node you mentioned. I 
have also tried a file name instead of =yes=, both with and 
without quotes, but it doesn't work.

What I really want is to have a property block with the =:tangle= 
arg under each top-level header, like so:

#+begin_example
  :PROPERTIES:
  :header-args:python: :tangle out1.py
  :END:
#+begin_example

because I want the code below each top-level header to be tangled 
to a separate file. Again, AFAICT this is the syntax described in 
the info manual.

Hmm, experimenting a bit more I find that if I leave out the 
=python= part, it works:

#+begin_example
  :PROPERTIES:
  :header-args: :tangle out1.py
  :END:
#+begin_example

But the info manual gives this example:

#+begin_example
  :PROPERTIES:
  :header-args:clojure:    :session *clojure-1*
  :END:
#+begin_example

The same is true for the #+PROPERTY block at the top of the file: 
leave out the =python=, it works. Isn't it possible to restrict 
tangling to source blocks of a particular language? (Or, more 
specifically what I want: to specify different tangling targets 
for different language? I wanted to have both python and bash code 
blocks under one header and have them tangled to different 
files...)
