    property for class objects

    As par of JPype, I find that I have to brifge Java static members into
    class attributes.

    I am using a metaclass to dynamically create a Python class for every
    Java type encountered. Instance variables were handled by adding a
    property(get, set) to the class's dictionary.

    Now static members are giving me a headache. I cannot use "property" for
    them, because properties are for instances only.

    What I am currently doing is adding a __getattr__ and a __setattr__
    methods to the metaclass, which is called when a class attribute is
    requested but not found in the class' dict.

    This works fine exact it does not walk the inheritance tree to find
    static members defined in base classes. I am currently adding up all the
    names in every class. This "works", however it is misleading when you do
    a dir() of the class.

    Does anyone have an idea how to implement "classprope rty" ?

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Steve
