This works, although I'm not sure that I would do it in real code.

>>> class PropertyModule(types.ModuleType):
...     @property
...     def parrot(self):
...         return "Norwegian Blue"
...
>>> sys.modules['parrot_sketch'] = PropertyModule('parrot_sketch')
>>> import parrot_sketch
>>> parrot_sketch.parrot
'Norwegian Blue'

Note that if the user does "from parrot_sketch import parrot", then
the property is evaluated at import time and any changes won't be
reflected in the local binding, which might cause some surprises.

Also, this isn't really a singleton any longer since the user might
just create another instance of the class, but you can hide the class
and present just the module as the API.
