You could try catching the exception thrown when you attempt to assign
to a read-only attribute. Although you may get consistency issues. ie
your object doesn't have all the details from the dict, but the
calling code expects them to be set. Perhaps you should provide
"setter" methods for the properties also, so that your objects
internal state gets set correctly.
eg: in your class declaration:
def setfoo(self, value):
# Add code here to check 'value' and set internal 'foo' state correctly
self._foo = value
def getfoo(self):
return self._foo
foo = property(setfoo, getfoo)
