Static Data?

[Stevie_mac]

I need to have a static class data member like c (see semi pseudo-like code below). How can I achieve this?

class object
    static _ID
    _ID = _ID + 1
    self.ID = _ID

class group
    . . .
    def AddObject(self,obj)
        objs.append(obj)
    def GetObject(self,iWhich)
        return objs[iWhich]

g = group()
o1=object()    #gets ID of 1
o2=object()    #gets ID of 2
o3=object()    #gets ID of 3
g.append(o2)   #store object with ID of 2
g.append(o3)   #store object with ID of 3
g.append(o1)   #store object with ID of 1

print g.GetObject(0).ID    #print ID of group object 0
print g.GetObject(1).ID    #print ID of group object 1
print g.GetObject(2).ID    #print ID of group object 2

>>> 2
>>> 3
>>> 1

obviously this code is duff, its the solution I need.
