[BangPypers] what is __slots__

[Sibtey]

__slots__ is generally used for the memory optimization , suppose you are 
creating the 100 objects of a class then each instance of that class contain 
the __dict__.
As you know that __dict__  holds all the attributes of a class per instance 
basis, so __slots__ is a way to avoiding the creation of a dictionary 
__dict__,
add all the attributes of a class into the __slots__ something like
class A(object):
__slots__["a1","a2",............]
    def __ini__(self):pass
