Apart from the quite confusing spelling of this property (I suggest 
something like http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/rwproperty for better 
readability), I just wanted to point out that "stati" is an incorrect 
Latin plural for "status". The plural is simply "status" (the "u" being 
long in the plural, as opposed to being short in the singular). But as 
far as I know, the only accepted plural form in English is "statuses".
