vars between classes

[Marc Tardif]

Thanks, your suggested solution is exactly what I was looking for. As you
hinted, I am still confused about a few basic aspects of oop. To make sure
I understood your example, I have a couple more questions:

- Do I need to declare "class_var = 0" in first? Everything still works as
expected without it.

- Do I need to declare "self.var = var" in __init__? Couldn't I simply use
first.class_var throughout the code?

Thanks for the help,
Marc
