func is a class attribute because it is defined within the class;
foo and bar are instance attributes because they are defined
when an instance of the class is created.

func is effectively inherited by the instance because, when
you do t.func(), Python will look for the name 'func' in
the namespace of t's class if it fails to find the name in
t's namespace.
