You need __setattr__ from the metaclass:

    >>> class C: pass
    ...
    >>> type(C).__setattr__(C, "baz", "BAZ")
    >>> C.baz
    'BAZ'

You can bind the method like this:

    >>> C_setattr = type(C).__setattr__.__get__(C)
    >>> C_setattr('foo', 'bar')
    >>> C.foo
    'bar'

But just use built-in setattr(), really.
