Is it possible to override "__setattr__" of a module? I

None of the following seem to have any effect.
modu.__setattr__ = myfn
setattr(modu, "__setattr__", myfn)
delattr(modu, "__setattr__")

There is a dirty trick which involves fiddling with sys.modules.
For instance:
$ cat x.py
import sys
class FakeModule(object):
Cute, but it doesn't work in general. Faking a module as a
class fails when you simply call
x()
within the module.
I also tried
modu.__dict__['__setattr__'] = myfun
...
modu.foo = 1 # "myfun" does not get called.
Any more ideas?
