This seems like a bizarre requirement. Why is the attribute read-only in 
the first place? How is the read-only mechanism enforced? Is the object 
created in Python or in an extension module? Do you have any evidence 
that "setting" the attribute will effect the required change in the 
behavior of the object.

A little more information would be helpful.
