Wow!  For a second there I thought you could make a "global" class
attribute in a way I'd never seen before...

But it's turns out you can't.

>>> k = 0
>>> class foo:
	global k
	def wow(self, n):
		self.k += n


>>> foo.k

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#31>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    foo.k
AttributeError: class foo has no attribute 'k'
>>> f = foo()
>>> f.k

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#32>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    f.k
AttributeError: foo instance has no attribute 'k'
>>> f.wow(23)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#33>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    f.wow(23)
  File "<pyshell#29>", line 4, in wow
    self.k += n
AttributeError: foo instance has no attribute 'k'
>>>


BTW,  that's a weird place to put import statements.

Peace,
