On what object you want to set the attribute?
When you want to set it on the base object ("wrapper.aq_base"),
then just use "wrapper.<attribute> = value".
The assignment effectively happens to "wrapper.aq_base.<attribute>".

You can only assign attributes to base objects.
Wrappers themselfs do not have a "__dict__" and all other
attributes are read only.
