Horse pucky.
>>> class Fools(object):
... _bar = "my private list of values".split()
... def broken(self, breaker):
... breaker(self._bar)
...
>>> class Kings(object):
[Elided, because you said you don't need it.]
>>> fool = Fools()
>>> king = Kings()
>>> fool.broken(king.get_victim)
>>> king.breakit()
>>> fool._bar
[]

So, fool._bar is now clobbered. Nuts, the _bar attribute is broken for
*every* instance of Fools. According to you, the error must be in
Fools. Care to point it out?
