python bug?

[Jeff Sandys]

Is this what you meant to do?

>>> class Dada:
...	a = []
...	def __init__(self,arg):
...		Dada.a.append(arg)
...		self.a = Dada.a
... 
>>> d1 = Dada("pro")
>>> d2 = Dada("hobo")
>>> d1.a
['pro', 'hobo']
>>> d2.a
['pro', 'hobo']
>>> Dada.a
['pro', 'hobo']
>>> 

Thanks,
Jeff Sandys
