This should be re-phrased to 'Use new-style classes, or else!'

py> class Foo:
...   def __init__(self, color):
...     self._color = color
...   color = property(fget=lambda self: self._color)
...
py> p = Foo('red')
py> p.color
'red'
py> p.color = 'green'   # shouldn't be able to do this
py> p.color
'green'
py>
py> class Parrot(object):
...   def __init__(self, color):
...     self._color = color
...   color = property(fget=lambda self: self._color)
...
py> p = Parrot('orange')
py> p.color
'orange'
py> p.color = 'pink'
