Quesion about the proper use of __slots__

[Zefria]

I am aware of this; but with too much Java still running through my
brain I've never bothered with the idea yet because that's simply not
the way I learned and I've never had a chance to need new attributes
for singular instances.

"__slots__ is not a method, so it falls outside that purpose as stated.

It's listed within the special methods section of the Python Refrence,
was what I ment.
