 referenced on an object using the new \member{__slots__} class attribute.
 Python objects are usually very dynamic; at any time it's possible to
 define a new attribute on an instance by just doing
-\code{obj.new_attr=1}.  This is flexible and convenient, but this
-flexibility can also lead to bugs, as when you meant to write
-\code{obj.template = 'a'} but made a typo and wrote
-\code{obj.templtae} by accident.
