Hello,


Lots of other good comments, so I'll just remark on one point.


 >>> class bar(object):
...    def __init__(self):
...        self.w = 5
...        self.x = 6
...        self.y = 7
...        self.z = 8


If these really are "constants," meaning the same value for all instances, then you can make them class attributes instead of instance attributes. I'd advise doing this to avoid bugs, not to save memory, though if you have lots of instances, it'll certainly save memory.

>>> class bar(object):
...    w = 5
...    x = 6
...    def __init__(self):
...        self.y = 7
...        self.z = 8

At this point, all instances will have a self.w of 5, and a self.x of 6. But they'll each have a self.y and self.z which could change independently.
