Title: Signature.html Yes, to a potential bad idea. I'm not quite sure why I put that in there. Possibly what I really wanted is the location of the file. There are some other entries where I want to know the location of the file. For example, the mask file. I likely want to load that file when

Hi, This behavior was totally unexpected. I only caught it because it was the only thing I changed. >>> class foo: ... def __init__(self, lst=[]): ... self.items = lst ... >>> f1 = foo() >>> f1.items [] >>> f1.items.append(1) >>> f2 = foo() >>> f2.items [1] Huh? lst is a refer
