Overriding "__setattr__" of a module - possible?

You are wrong, my friend. :)

Modules follow the new style class and instance protocol. Modules aren't
classes but instances of the internal module type. Since you can't
overwrite magic methods on instances of new style classes you can't
overwrite __setattr__ on module level, too.
