I know that there’s a function called id so I wouldn’t create a function or a variable called id, but what about an attribute on an object?

That’s ok, and is pretty common. For example, objects mapped to a database record will often have an “id” attribute mapped to the database “id” column value.
Attributes are always “namespaced” so you have to refer to them via
self.idorobj.idso there’s no conflict with the built-in function.
