Python equivalent of static member data?

[Emile van Sebille]

I'm not familiar with C++ static members, but it sounds like
you are looking for something like:

class Test:
    instances = 0
    def __init__(self, incBy=1):
        Test.instances = Test.instances + incBy
        print Test.instances

a = Test()
b = Test(2)


HTH,
