For __all__ you can use a decorator to avoid retyping the function name at 
all. e.g.

def public(f):
    all = f.func_globals.setdefault('__all__', [])
    all.append(f.__name__)
    return f

@public
def foo(): pass

I don't use __slots__ much at all, and if you'd said "attribute1" etc. I'd 
have understood, but I'm really curious why would you be listing any 
methods in __slots__?
