It is certainly possible for attributes of (instances of) new-style classes
(starting with Python 3.2 at the latest) to be read-only by declaring them a
property that does not have a setter, or one that has a setter that throws a
specific exception (here: the former):
#--------------------------
class SafeMath(object):
def __init__ (self):
from math import pi
self._pi = pi
@property
def pi (self):
return self._pi
#--------------------------
| >>> math = SafeMath()
| >>> math.pi
| 3.141592653589793
| >>> math.pi = 42
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
| AttributeError: can't set attribute
(Or you can use “pi = property(…)” within the class declaration.)
In theory, it should be possible to substitute “math” with a reference to an
object that acts as a proxy for the original “math” module object but whose
base class declares the attributes for all the constants read-only.
