Hello. I think I'm aware of how attribute access is resolved in python. When referencing a class instance attribute which is not defined in the scope of the instance, Python looks for a class attribute with the same name. (For assignment or deletion this is not the case, thankfully.) I've been trying to understand why? What is the reason behind, or practical purpose of, this design decision? Anyone, please enlighten me.
