that there are CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) like SymPy and Sage; other

When you access an attribute of a class object (a dict), the class

the class's instance of that function attribute is 'bound'; it receives
'self' (an object reference) as its first argument.
If you write your own __get__ (e.g. with functools.partial or
