class ReadOnly(object):
    """
    Base class for classes with read-only attributes.

    Be forewarned that Python does not offer true read-only user defined
    classes. In particular, do not rely upon the read-only-ness of this
    class for security purposes.

    The point of this class is not to make it impossible to set or delete
    attributes, but to make it impossible to accidentally do so. The plugins
    are not thread-safe: in the server, they are loaded once and the same
    instances will be used to process many requests. Therefore, it is
    imperative that they not set any instance attributes after they have
    been initialized. This base class enforces that policy.

    For example:

    >>> class givenname(ReadOnly):
    >>>     def __init__(self):
    >>>         self.whatever = 'some value' # Hasn't been locked yet
    >>>         lock(self)
    >>>
    >>>     def finalize(self, api):
    >>>         # After the instance has been locked, attributes can still be
    >>>         # set, but only in a round-about, unconventional way:
    >>>         object.__setattr__(self, 'api', api)
    >>>
    >>>     def normalize(self, value):
    >>>         # After the instance has been locked, trying to set an
    >>>         # attribute in the normal way will raise AttributeError.
    >>>         self.value = value # Not thread safe!
    >>>         return self.actually_normalize()
    >>>
    >>>     def actually_normalize(self):
    >>>         # Again, this is not thread safe:
