Hint: TEST2.one is not a reference to TEST2.__instance_one.one. When you alter TEST2.__instance_one.one you don't magically change TEST2.one, too. Python doesn't have variables like C pointers. Python's copy by object (or share by object) behavior can be understand as labels. The label TEST2.one references the same object as TEST2.__instance_one.one until you change where the label TEST2.__instance_one.one points to.
