The detection of these kind of things are quite hard to do in Python since they 
can be dynamically created or declared anywhere the object is used. 

Its unlikely to be able to support this type of detection of member attributes 
in a fully consistent manor without executing the code and doing postmortem 
introspection which can have side affects as it actually requires executing the 
script.

Will leave open to look into at least perhaps performing more detailed analysis 
of the __init__ method to at least try to better support attributes that are 
declared there.
