Yes its possible to add attribute to instances and classes (as its an object too). Just use setattr.

But why do you do that? you should inherit the Rect class and make a ColoredRect

class ColoredRect(Rect):
    def __init__(self, color, ...):
        self.color = color
        super(ColoredRed, self).__init__(self, ...)
