I just had a peek at the docs, and it looks like METH_CLASS will
work (and METH_STATIC too).

But I don't think you can get class attributes using tp_setattro,
because that's only invoked for setting attributes on instances of the 
class, not the class itself. You'd need to override the tp_setattro
of the metaclass, and trying to envisage an extension type with
a custom metaclass is making my head spin rather too much just at
the moment.

I'll put METH_CLASS and METH_STATIC on the list, and maybe give
metaclasses a bit more thought sometime.
