 From http://www.python.org/2.2.3/descrintro.html#property :

Properties do not work for classic classes, but you don't get a clear 
error when you try this. Your get method will be called, so it appears 
to work, but upon attribute assignment, a classic class instance will 
simply set the value in its __dict__ without calling the property's set 
method...
