Can anyone explain why descriptors only work when they are an attribute

Not sure what "stood on itself" really means, but if you just want to be able to have module-level properties, you can do something like:

Think in non-English (stand outside yourself?) for a second, rememberinf Antoon is Belgian (if you knew that):

   "on" => "by"

   "stood on itself" => "stood by itself"
                     => "standalone"
