In fairness to the OP, the terminology "instance variables" meaning attributes or members of an instance is (sadly, in my opinion) common in some other languages, such as Java, and occasionally creeps into even the Python docs. I've often ranted about this, and won't repeat it now, only point out that the preferred and most common terminology in Python circles is "attribute", or "instance attribute" if you need to distinguish it from "class attribute". -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
