Emanuel Barry <ba...@dadadata.net> added the comment:

Any valid variable name can be used as a an attribute; for example, "spam" is 
valid while "spam-eggs" is not. This isn't unique to classes, but to all 
assignments everywhere. If we allowed `o.exec = blah` then we should also allow 
`exec = blah` at the global scope and that's a whole load of not happening, 
much less in Python 2 (which isn't getting any significant updates anymore).
