function attributes are not local variables, but are added to the func_dict for the function in a key : value relationship. They can be accessed via the __dict__ of the function. print(fun.__dict__) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0232/

https://docs.python.org/3.9/reference/datamodel.html#objects-values-and-types Scroll down to callable types. Also, lookup __dict__ The PEP is probably the most informative from what I've seen.

Mirielle yes. f.a is different to b. And thinking about the difference and locals() akes everything a bit clearer.
