Ah, yeah. Use

entry.props.editable = False
entry.props.can_focus = False
entry.props.has_focus = False

Alternatively if you want to prevent selecting text and copying the
entry content, just use 

entry.props.sensitive = False

However the latter is not to be preferred; allowing users to select and
copy text is more friendly.
