[Python-Dev] Module properties for C modules

Correct. Module properties would behave exactly like instance
properties. They don't appear on the instance's __dict__ attribute, too.

By the way I was astonished that the vars() function dones't show
properties but dir() does list them.

>>> class Example(object):
...     @property
...     def x(self):
...         return 42
...
>>> example = Example()
>>> example.__dict__
{}
>>> vars(example)
{}
>>> dir(example)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__',
'__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__',
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', '__weakref__', 'x']
