Because variable belongs to the class, and not any instance of the class, you can duplicate this behavior without creating any instances at all: >>> class TestClass(object): ... variable = [] ... >>> TestClass.variable.append(1) >>> TestClass.variable [1] And then when you create an instance t, t.variable still refers to the class: >>> t = TestClass() >>> t.variable [1] >>> This is expected behavior. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
