Yes, but to get it to work it needs to be a new style class, ie subclass
from object.

This enforces attributes in __slots__ :

>>> class Test1(object):
...     __slots__ = ['a','b','c']
...
>>> t = Test1()
>>> t.d = 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'Test1' object has no attribute 'd'

but this doesn't:

>>> class Test2:
...     __slots__ = ['a','b','c']
...
>>> t = Test2()
>>> t.d = 2
>>>
