I'm not sure if the group is the correct place to ask questions about the wiki or not, so if it's not the right place please let me know what is... I've used python a bit in the past but needed a refresher so I started going through the tutorial in the web2py book and ran across the following:
http://web2py.com/book/default/section/2/11 At the top of the page it states: * Attributes are generally associated with the instance, not the class (except when declared as "class attributes", which is the same as "static member variables" in C++/Java). * further down the page however it states: *All variables are local variables of the method except variables declared outside methods. For example, z is a class variable, equivalent to a C++ static member variable that holds the same value for all instances of the class. * So is there a difference between an attribute and a variable? Is z a class variable? a class attribute? both? Seems that the page needs to be cleaned up to use consistent wording, unless there is an actual difference between the two. Thanks, -Doug
