Consider the following code at your REPL of choice

The last statement originates the following error:
This is an anomalous situation.
'This situation' being that Someclass.attro works but Someclass().attro

Normally, if a class has an attribute,
In other words, if 'Someclass.attro' evaluates to an object

(unless 'Someclass().attro' has been bound to a different object)
because attribute lookup on an instance reverts to attribute lookup on
the class and even its super classes (__bases__). Someclass.__bases__
is special; it is not listed by dir(Someclass), and it is not accessible
via an instance.
That is not true:
What I said, as I meant it to be understood, is true.
