Is it good practice to reuse a function name as the name of a class attribute?

Just curious: is it good practice to reuse a function name as the name of a class attribute?

An example is steady_state:

• steady_state is a function in giddy and can be imported as from giddy.ergodic import steady_state
• steady_state is an attribute of class Markov in giddy and can be used as:

from giddy.ergodic import Markov
mc = Markov(y)
mc.steady_state

I think this makes it clear, where the method came from. So, to me, it seems like good practice.

Makes sense. Thanks for replying!
