Adding a feature (static data) to a language that doesn't really support
it may alway be a bit of hack (unfortunately, python doesn't have neither
static nor private qualifiers )-:

I guess I'm just surprised to find something that's simple and
idiomatic in C but doesn't translate to anything equally simple in
