Hi,
suppose I have a file like this:
class A:
     r = 5
     def func(self, s):
         self.s = s
a = A()
print(a.r)    # this should print 5, but where does py store the name of r
a.func(3)
print(a.s)    # this should print 3, also where does py store this name.
what's the underlying difference between the above example?

For CPython, both the class A and the instance a have a .__dict__ 
attribute that stores names and values. But that is intended to be 
hidden and transparent  for normal usage.
