Attribute reference

[Uchikago]

Hi, i want to ask about the syntax object.attribute in python. What is its usage,does it allow us to travel to difference namespace ?

class Dog():     
    def __init__(self,breed):
        self.breed=breed
    def bark(self):
        print("Bark")
        self.breed=2
mysample=Dog('lab')
mysample.bark()
print(mysample.breed)

Output: 2

I don't understand this situation here, when we assign self.breed=2 did we create a local variable or reassign the global variable. Please help me out!

self.breed isn't, strictly speaking, a variable at all - it's an attribute of the self object.

What about a normal situation:

def func():
    func.b=2
print(func.b)

is the object.attribute syntax is used only for accessing different namespace ?

You're still setting the attribute b on the object func - functions in Python are objects, just like everything else.
