[Python-Dev] Arbitrary attributes on funcs and methods

[Skip Montanaro]

    BAW> Functions and methods are first class objects, and they already
    BAW> have attributes, some of which are writable.

(Trying to read Fredrik's mind...)

By extension, we should allow writable attributes to work for other objects.
To pollute this discussion with an example from another one:

    i = 3.1416
    i.__precision__ = 4

I haven't actually got anything against adding attributes to functions (or
numbers, if it's appropriate).  Just wondering out loud and playing a bit of
a devil's advocate.
