The list in your example is a *class attribute* not an instance attribute, so
yes it is only initialised once. You can still access it through the instance
(self) because of Python member lookup rules.
If you want one list per instance

Then I must ask, why did the string attribute behave differently? I added it

existing list in place.
Because strings are immutable you += is exactly equivalent to the following
code:
self.string = self.string + str(i)
The first
