Is a list static when it's a class member?

kath's response is probably better.

In Python, you don't define the instance members in the class scope
like the OP has done:

You define them when you attach them to an instance, e.g.

class A:
   def __init__(self):
      self.member1 = 'a'

   def ThisWorksToo(self):
      self.member2 = 'b'

# this also works
a = A()
a.member3 = 'c'
