If it helps: What you describe is attribute lookup, and it happens
whether or not you're going to call the attribute.
In other words, you need only invoke ‘foo.attr’ to have Python look for
attribute ‘attr’ among the class hierarchy as you describe. Calling that
attribute is a distinct operation once the attribute is found.

That's been answered, but I'm curious to know what your program will do
with that information?
