Well I found the problem. this is how I see it

Suppose I have a Python Class
	
	class MyClass(base):
		class_inside = some_class(...)

		...


	class_inside is actually like  a static varaible in C++

	class MyClass {
		static class_inside some_class;

		...


	I was under the assumption that class_inside was a public
	variable that was instantiated with every new class. But my
	observation has proven it is not true every class with have
	a reference to class_inside ( I can show actual code that
	proves this...)


Thanks
