That's not quite the same thing. Python doesn't go out of its
way to support read-only properties; it's just that if you
create a property and don't define what it means to write it,
then it can't be written.

Read-only variables, on the other hand, would require adding
a new concept to the language and extending the interpreter
to support it.
