That is self.__attributes Been reading about the reasons to introduce them and am a little concerned. As far as I understand it if you have a class that inherits from two other classes which have both the same name for an attribute then you will have a name clash because all instance attributes "wind up in the single instance object at the bottom of the class tree".
Now I guess this means that in any real OOP project you'd better use __attr for all your attributes, because classes are usually meant to be subclassed and you can never know when you'll be subclassing from two classes with attributes with the same name, and I guess you can't take the risk of this happening because when it happens it will be hell to find out what's going on.
