This sets an attribute of the class:

This method will be called to initialise an instance of the class when
one is created:

This sets an attribute of the instance:

This prints the __init__ method of the class:

At no point does it create an instance of the class, so the __init__
method is never called.

You can't return anything from the __init__ method because it's called
just to initialise the instance.
