This seems reasonable enough, since we can use properties to make read-only attributes, but it will take some doing. As described in http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2/descrintro/#property, "The get method won't be called when the property is accessed as a class attribute (C.x) instead of as an instance attribute (C().x)." This will remain a low-priority until I (or someone else -- hint, hint) figures out how to appropriately "override the __get__ operation for properties used as a class attribute" (in pure python code) as described on that page.

I have a fix for this locally, but it needs some cleanup/refactoring yet. It borrows some of the internals of class_ (specifically the metatype) to implement readonly class properties.
