  Methods are attributes too:

They are indeed:

    class A:
        def set_x(self, x) :
            self.x = x
        #end set_x
    #end A

    class B:
        pass
    #end class B

    def set_x(self, x) :
        self.x = x
    #end set_x

    B.set_x = set_x

    AInst = A()
    AInst.set_x(9)
    print(AInst.x)
    BInst = B()
    BInst.set_x(4)
    print(BInst.x)

Output:

    9
    4

No fundamental difference between the two ways of attaching a method to a
class.
