Bug or feature?

I think the idea here is not that "python should follow the example of
other languages" but that OO, as a principle, contains several concepts,
including that of class variables vs. instance variables.  Both the
definition and behavior of python's class-scoped variables match those of
C++ and other languages' class variables.  So...why aren't they class
variables??
