I don't like the terms "class variable" and "instance variable". In the
Python community, these are usually called class and instance attributes
rather than variables or members.
Hey Steven, that was a very generous explanation. Thanks! Very clear. I
was floundering over the simple name/concept of attibute, and it had
undermined my reading of other material. Your examples were extremely
helpful. I think I understood everything you said (after a second
reading). I keep hearing about how Python creates namespaces which I
think are dictionaries, I'm going to have to look into that further to
understand how some of this fits together. I think that's where Python
is going when you're talking about looking up attributes (and it would
include methods too, unless they're still functions... maybe they're
methods for instances and functions for classes? Ok, I don't get that
part yet).
Anyway, thanks again

I'm unsure as to what the subject line has in common with class and
instance variables, would you care to explain it please.
