[issue7800] Attributes of type list are static

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

The list in your example is a *class attribute* not an instance attribute, so yes it is only initialised once. You can still access it through the instance (self) because of Python member lookup rules.

If you want one list per instance then initialise it in __init__ instead of making it a class attribute.

In short, Python is not Java.
