class attribute

[ast]

hello

Here is a class from django framework


from django.db import models

class Article(models.Model):

    titre = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    auteur = models.CharField(max_length=42)
    contenu = models.TextField(null=True)
    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False,
                                verbose_name="Date de parution")

    def __str__(self):
        return self.titre

>From a Python point of view, what are titre, auteur, contenu and date ?
Are they class attributes, so common to all instance of Article ?
It seems so to me.

But if i do in a django shell (run with py manage.py shell)

>>> Article.titre

it doesnt work,
AttributeError: type object 'Article' has no attribute 'titre'
why ?

if I test on a small class

>>>class MyClass:
>>>    i=0
>>>
>>> MyClass.i
>>> 0

works



When we create an object of class Article

article = Article(titre="Bonjour", auteur="Maxime")
article.contenu = "Les crêpes bretonnes sont trop bonnes !"

we use the same names titre, auteur, contenu, which should be instance
attribute this time. This is confusing to me

thx
