I agree with Bengt, from your traceback it seems you are assigning directly
to client.__dict__, but you cannot do that (I think because client.__dict__
is a dictproxy object and not a real dictionary). The right way to
go is via object.__setattr__ , or type.__setattr__ in the case of
metaclasses.

I guess you are aware of the metaclass+properties recipes in the
on-line cookbook, but just in case ...

HTH,
