I think you're more likely to get somewhere with the "locking dict" idea
that others have mentioned, essentially the immutable equivalent of a
dict.  Thus the syntax would be

    time = ( 'hour':24, 'minute':0, 'second':0 )
    print time['minute']
    time['foo'] = 'bar'

...and you get an exception
