You need __setattr__ from the metaclass:
>>> class C: pass
...
>>> type(C).__setattr__(C, "baz", "BAZ")
>>> C.baz
'BAZ'
Oh, that makes sense: so, __setattr__ on a class is for its instances, right?
(thus, to set attrs on a class itself, we need ___setattr__ from its own class,
if I understand rightly?)
You can bind the method like this:
>>> C_setattr = type(C).__setattr__.__get__(C)
>>> C_setattr('foo', 'bar')
>>> C.foo
'bar'
But just use built-in setattr(), really.
Really, yes!
