Python Morsels: __dict__: where Python stores attributes

Most Python objects store their attributes within a special dictionary called `__dict__`. Modules and classes consistently utilize this `__dict__` for attribute storage. However, it's important to note that not every single Python object will possess a `__dict__` attribute. An example demonstrates a `Product` class with `name` and `price` attributes. Instances of this class, like `duck` and `mug`, each hold their own distinct data. This data is conceptually stored where their attributes live. The `__dict__` attribute is the mechanism behind this storage for many objects. Accessing `__dict__` allows for inspection of an object's attributes. While common, the presence of `__dict__` is not universal across all Python objects. The `__dict__` attribute provides a way to look into an object's internal workings.
