I believe that was the point of Ziga's example, which I acknowledged as a good one in my reply. So there still appears to be this single reason, which applies if your class may be subclassed. Does this beg the question of whether __slots__ *should* break with inheritance? One other question I did not get answered: is there any simple example of a Pythonic use of __slots__ that does NOT involve the creation of **many** instances.
