[New-bugs-announce] [issue35439] New class instance not initializing variables of type list

[Arturo Inzunza]

New submission from Arturo Inzunza <inzunzo at gmail.com>:

List type variables in a class are not reset on new instances of the class.

Example: 

class Klazz:
    lst = []
    def __init__(self, va):
        print(self.lst)
        self.lst.append(va)


k = Klazz(1)
[]      -> This is correct as the lst value is empty on class instantiation

k2 = Klazz(2)
[1]   -> This is wrong, a totally new instance of the class retains the value of a previous class instance lst variable

k3 = Klazz(3)
[1, 2]  -> And so on... new instances all share the same list
