I would say that this is awkward usage; the class attribute isn't being used as a default for the instance, it's being used as "the next one". I would rename the class attribute to "next_serial". That would give you the freedom to use whichever notation you like, as there won't be a conflict. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
