Do you seriously think the number is larger than zero? Do you think that's any good way to write code? Examples of the weirdness have already been given. My favorite is the one where b.a is a list instead of an integer, in which case the class variable gets updated instead of an instance variable getting created. If you don't find the inconsistency to be weird, then ducky for you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
