The simple example:
class A():
a = 1
b = [a + i for i in range(3)]
It will raise
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
However,
class A():
a = 1
b = a + 2
works.
What is the basic access rule in Python3?

3That isn't really the error that is caused. It would be a `NameError` if it weren't for the fact that you defined a function called `a` that you didn't tell us about ;) – zondo Mar 18 '16 at 14:41

shoudn't any initialisation be done inside `__init__(self, ...)`? – Raf Mar 18 '16 at 14:41

@Raf `a` and `b` are [class attributes](https://www.toptal.com/python/python-class-attributes-an-overly-thorough-guide) – idjaw Mar 18 '16 at 14:48
