The following behavior doesn't make sense, especially since it works correctly for other special attributes: >>> class F: __name__ = "Foo" >>> F.__name__ 'F' >>> F().__name__ 'Foo' >>> F.__name__ = 'Foo' >>> F.__name__ 'Foo' Works fine for __module__ and others: >>> class F: __module__ = "mod" >>> F.__module__ 'mod' >>> F <class mod.F at 0x0212B360>

The following behavior doesn't make sense, especially since it works correctly for other special attributes:

>>> class F:
	__name__ = "Foo"

>>> F.__name__
'F'
>>> F().__name__
'Foo'
>>> F.__name__ = 'Foo'
>>> F.__name__
'Foo'


Works fine for __module__ and others:

>>> class F:
	__module__ = "mod"
	
>>> F.__module__
'mod'
>>> F
<class mod.F at 0x0212B360>
