# Built-In Class Attributes

### Built-In Class Attributes:

• \_\_**dict**\_\_ − Dictionary containing the class's namespace. 

• \_\_**doc**\_\_ − Class documentation string or none, if undefined. 

• \_\_**name**\_\_ − Class name. 

• \_\_**module**\_\_ − Module name in which the class is defined. This attribute is "**main**" in interactive mode. 

• \_\_**bases**\_\_ − A possibly empty tuple containing the base classes, in the order of their occurrence in the base class list.

```python
#!/usr/bin/python3

class Employee:
   'Common base class for all employees'
   empCount = 0

   def __init__(self, name, salary):
      self.name = name
      self.salary = salary
      Employee.empCount += 1
   
   def displayCount(self):
     print ("Total Employee %d" % Employee.empCount)

   def displayEmployee(self):
      print ("Name : ", self.name,  ", Salary: ", self.salary)

emp1 = Employee("Zara", 2000)
emp2 = Employee("Manni", 5000)
print ("Employee.__doc__:", Employee.__doc__)
print ("Employee.__name__:", Employee.__name__)
print ("Employee.__module__:", Employee.__module__)
print ("Employee.__bases__:", Employee.__bases__)
print ("Employee.__dict__:", Employee.__dict__ )
```
