MyClass.a will work unless it is a function. (class attributes that are
functions are magically turned into instance methods) For example:

class MyClass:
    #define class attribute
    a = 0
    def method(self):
        #use class attribute
        do_something_with(MyClass.a)

#use class attribute outside of MyClass
do_something_else_with(MyClass.a)
