Hello Python Dev!

As you all know modules don't support properties. However several places and modules could use properties on module level. For example the sys.py3kwarnings flag could be implemented with a property. Other flags in the sys module could benefit from read only properties, too.

Big +1. Frankly, the get/set methods of sys are quite ugly!

How do you like the general idea of properties for builtin modules. That is modules written in C like the sys module.

Good idea. Perhaps eventually they could be extended to Python, but they are definitely useful in C now. How about passing a list of getsets to PyImport_InitModule(5)?
