Description

On Python 2.6 and early versions of 2.7, object.__setattr__ can't be
used on old-style classes (those not inheriting from object), which
meant that some spies would succeed on some versions of Python and fail
on others.

We now fall back to simply modifying the dictionary in these cases.

Testing Done

Unit tests pass on all supported versions of Python.

No, because it's not clear when this behavior was changed. I'd rather test the result rather than assume anything about versions.

Ship it!
