For a second there I thought you could make a "global" class attribute in a way I'd never seen before... But it's turns out you can't. >>> k = 0 >>> class foo: global k def wow(self, n): self.k += n >>> foo.k Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#31>", line 1, in -toplevel- foo.k AttributeError: class foo has no attribute 'k' >>> f = foo() >>> f.k Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#32>", line 1, in -toplevel- f.k AttributeError: foo instance has no attribute 'k' >>> f.wow(23) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#33>", line 1, in -toplevel- f.wow(23) File "<pyshell#29>", line 4, in wow self.k += n AttributeError: foo instance has no attribute 'k' >>> BTW, that's a weird place to put import statements.
