Attribute defined outside __init__ PYL-W0201

Anti-pattern
Minor

Defining an instance attribute outside __init__ affects the readability of code. It is expected to find all the attributes an instance may have by reading its __init__ method. If there is a need to initialize attribute via sub-initialization methods, it is recommended to assign attributes to None in the init then call the sub-initialization methods.
