The output is exactly what I expected:

c1, before:
d1= {'key': 'value'}
d2= {'key': 'value'}
c1, after:
d1= {'key': 'value2'}
d2= {'key': 'value2'}
c2:
d1= {'key': 'value2'}
d2= {'key': 'value'}

Exactly what do you believe is mysterious here? c2 sees the modified version of 
the class variable (d1), and sees a fresh copy of the instance variable (d2).

Please make you question more explicit.

Regards,
Nick.
