Should I use instance or class attributes if there will only be one instance? [closed]

by

If you have only one instance anyway, it’s best to make all variables per-instance, simply because they will be accessed (a little bit) faster (one less level of “lookup” due to the “inheritance” from class to instance), and there are no downsides to weigh against this small advantage.
