Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Renee, thanks for the patch. It looks pretty good.
I've reworked a bit to accomplish the following: * Added a short introductory a short discussion about class variables versus instance variables. This addresses other questions that tend to arise irrespective of mutability. * Referenced the related discussion in"A Word About Names and Objects". * Referenced the term "mutable" in the glossary. * change "dangerous" to "unexpected" in accordance with the style guide and following Guido's own wording on the subject. * Change the class names from "A" and "B" to a "Dog" class because readers tend to find that the more abstract "A" and "B" examples are a little harder to follow. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35716/class_instance_variables.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11974> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
