[Tutor] dictionaries, objects and scoping...

[John Morris]

Does it have something to do with:
http://effbot.org/pyfaq/why-are-default-values-shared-between-objects.htm

And if so can anyone explain it a bit for me, I'm being slow tonight.

I thought each class got it's own namespace and this sharing of mutable
objects is confusing me.

Thanks.
