This is a good point.  I was thinking that this analysis would
occur during module loading; i.e. it would be the equivalent of Java's
classloading.

What if the startup code analysis just extended to methods called
during __init__?
That seems like a relatively straightforward extension.  Remember we
aren't actually *executing*
the startup code in my proposal; we are just analyzing it for all
possible execution paths which cause
a member variable assignment.
