PyChecker and PyLint sound like the perfect remedy to this issue (I know 
one of them is able to warn you if you *create* an attribute outside of 
__init__, maybe both are but at least one of them is)

I just run them when I save my files, they don't take long and even 
though the default configuration is *extremely* annoying (especially 
PyLint's, it generates heaps of warnings) once configured to one's need, 
they're extremely valuable for both personal and team development.
