[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Attributes vs. methods

   a.typecode, a.itemsize, a.contiguous should all become methods,
   because setting these values makes no sense.

They could also be read-only attributes. BTW, setting a.typecode
does make sense, as a way of casting an array to another type.
Of course this is not the recommended style.
