.. These should perhaps be placed more carefully...
-Data attributes override method attributes with the same name; to avoid
-accidental name conflicts, which may cause hard-to-find bugs in large programs,
-it is wise to use some kind of convention that minimizes the chance of
-conflicts. Possible conventions include capitalizing method names, prefixing
-data attribute names with a small unique string (perhaps just an underscore), or
-using verbs for methods and nouns for data attributes.
+If the same attribute name occurs in both an instance and in a class,
+then attribute lookup prioritizes the instance::
+
+ >>> class Warehouse:
+ purpose = 'storage'
+ region = 'west'
+
+ >>> w1 = Warehouse()
+ >>> print(w1.purpose, w1.region)
+ storage west
+ >>> w2 = Warehouse()
+ >>> w2.region = 'east'
+ >>> print(w2.purpose, w2.region)
+ storage east
Data attributes may be referenced by methods as well as by ordinary users
("clients") of an object. In other words, classes are not usable to implement
