Because in Python a class, like all objects, is created at runtime, not 
compile time.

Think of a class definition, like a function definition, as just a special 
form of assignment statement. It’s not a declaration: every time it is 
executed (“elaborated” if you prefer the Ada term), it creates a new 
object.
