Summary: class property fset not working

Initial Comment:
Classes which are not instantiated from 'object',
containing properties, are not working as expected. The
GET method is working but not the SET method. Tested
with python 2.4.1 und 2.3.5.
See sample code file.

After reading some more documentation I've found at Python
Tutorial "D. Glossary" more hints.
<cite>
Any class that inherits from object. This includes all
built-in types like list and dict. Only new-style classes
can use Python's newer, versatile features like __slots__,
descriptors, properties, __getattribute__(), class methods,
and static methods.
</cite>
Fine. OK, understood..
I'm tending to agree with mwh's opinion, that this is a
documentation bug, although I don't fully understand why the
GET descriptor is working but unlikly not the SET descriptor.

At the very limit, this is a documentation bug.  Why did you think 
properties could be attached to old-style classes?
