R. David Murray added the comment:
And I'm telling you that *this is how Python is designed*, and it is not going to change. Class attributes are *special*, for a reason.
Please do not reopen this issue again. If you wish to pursue this further, the language design discussion forum is the python-ideas mailing list. Guido participates in that list; so, you can talk directly to the language designer about this if you wish. You aren't going to get a very warm reception by saying it is broken, though, because there is lots and lots of Python code that makes use of how class attributes work. And like I said they are special, so suggesting that the way other scopes work be changed is also pretty much a non-starter, I'm pretty sure.
