Yup, that's right!
Attribute access (the dot operator '.') is an operation that happens at runtime, and each attribute access stands alone. Every attribute access goes through the same search path, starting with self, then the class (type) of self, finally the base classes. So, in your example, self.foo is found in the class of bar, while self.ham is found in the base class of the class of bar.

Thanks Kent! I appreciate the external check. (The way Guido made the point was a bit gnostic, but not perhaps so much as Pilgrim's comment made it out.)
Best to all,
