Do you agree, that there are two kinds of attributes in Python: instance 
attributes and class attributes?
The latter are not shared beween objects (instances) of the same class, 
whereas the former are.

What do you think, that "class attributes are for"? And keep in mind: 
you need not use them,
if you don't like them ;-)
