That's true for all class attributes. You can't have a slot and a class
attribute at the same time. After all the __doc__ string is stored in a
class attribute, too.

>>> class Example:
...     __slots__ = ("egg",)
...     # This doesn't work
...     egg = None
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: 'egg' in __slots__ conflicts with class variable


>>> class Example:
...     """doc"""
...     __slots__ = ("__doc__",)
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: '__doc__' in __slots__ conflicts with class variable
