Introducing another special feature of modules to make this work is not the solution, IMHO. We should make module namespaces be more like instance namespaces. We already have a mechanism and it is getattr on objects.
One thing to keep in mind is that class instances *also* allow their attribute access machinery to be bypassed by writing to the instance.__dict__ directly - it's just that the instance dict may be bypassed on lookup for data descriptors. So that means we wouldn't need to change the way globals() works - we'd just add the caveat that amendments made that way may be ignored for things defined as properties.
