Summary: Read-only property attributes raise wrong exception

Initial Comment:
In
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-April/052681.html
I describe how attributes defined as properties raise
inconsistent errors depending on whether the property
is defined in C or Python.  By default in C, you'll get
a TypeError while in Python you'll get an AttributeError.

I think both should raise AttributeErrors. Here is a
patch against Python 2.4 which should be ported to 2.5
(and possibly 2.3 if we care).
