q=person
r=person()

p.no=1
print(p.no) #output : 1
print(q.no) #output : 1
print(r.no) #output : 1
q.no=2
print(p.no) #output : 2
print(r.no) #output : 2
r.no=3
print(r.no) #output : 3

person refers to the class itself, you could compare assigning like p.no = 1 with assigning a public static member.

person() instantiates a new object of the class person. Assigning like r.no = 3 is like assigning a member variable.
