Hi, In the following example, I don't understand why attribute 'data' is not reset when I get the new instance of Bag It works if I make a copy (data[:]) but I want to understand why
Thanks class Bag(object): def __init__(self, data = []): self.data = data #self.data = data[:] def add(self, x): self.data.append(x) bag = Bag() print bag.data bag.add('toto') print bag.data bag = Bag() # new instance of Bag, all attributes clear? print bag.data # 'toto' is still there !!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
