It is not so important. I mean, that I often initialize instance
variables within the class definition statement first. If "__init__"
has to initialize them afterwards again to another value, I welcome
it.

As you know, during read access Python will access "class" variables,
if concerning instance variables doesn't exist.

Furthermore that way I can often see on the first blink, what variable
are used by my class.

Kewl!  That is the difference between me and a wizzard ;-) I will
remember that :-)

Indeed, indeed :-))))
