I guess what I'm saying is that I am more comfortable calling them all attributes than calling them all members. The term 'members' isn't used anywhere in the language itself, as far as I can recall, whereas getattr and setattr are evidence that the language considers them all attributes. I think we do the documentation readers a disservice by obscuring that fact by using other terminology.

'function attributes' ? 'def attributes' ?
−1. They don't have to be functions, and hence don't have to be created by ‘def’.
Or just stick with method attributes' ?
“callable attributes” describes exactly what they are, in terms that will remain useful to the person learning Python. -- \ “‘Did you sleep well?’ ‘No, I made a couple of mistakes.’” | `\ —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney
