[Tutor] How to program to python the right way?

[Adam Pridgen]

I guess the problem I am trying to quell really revolves around style
and the proper way to do application programming with Python.  So one
of the things I found out the hard way about is classes.

I started of programming my Python Classes using the old style,
because I did not understand how the process works when a class is
instantiated.


class Foo:
    string = ""
    int = 0
