class attributes in python

class MyClass:
  # Class attributes are defined outside of constructor
  class_attr = 0
  
  def __init__(self, inst):
    # Instance attributes are defined in the constructor
    self.instance_attr = inst
    
obj = MyClass(1)
print(obj.class_attr) # outputs 0
print(obj.instance_attr) # outputs 1
print(MyClass.class_attr) # outputs 0
print(MyClass.instance_attr) # raises AttributeError

Python property Class

# using property class
class Celsius:
    def __init__(self, temperature=0):
        self.temperature = temperature
    def to_fahrenheit(self):
        return (self.temperature * 1.8) + 32

    # setter
