There are several errors in your python code: quite a number of comma's
have to be replaced by semicolons (or newlines), and there is a spurious
comma.

And a and b already print out the same, so it is not clear what you want.
Do you mean that the x and y of the a and b object should be independent?
In that case you should not use static variables but instance variables.
If they have to survive across different HTTP requests you should use
sessions.
