Instances and classes have separate namespaces:
class X(object):
x = 1
def __init__(self):
self.y = 2
>>> X().__dict__
{'y': 2}
>>> X.__dict__
<dictproxy object at 0xb7beab9c>
>>> X.__dict__.items()
[('__module__', '__main__'),
('__dict__', <attribute '__dict__' of 'X' objects>),
('x', 1),
('__weakref__', <attribute '__weakref__' of 'X' objects>),
('__doc__', None),
('__init__', <function __init__ at 0xb7b5a454>)]
And neither of those includes attributes defined in superclasses,
classes with __slots__, pseudo-attributes through __getattr__ and
possibly more I've missed.
