singleton (newbie)

[Larry Bates]

Seems you are correct.  I should have written:

class B:
    x = 0
    y = 1

    def foo(self):
        print self.__class__.x

    def bar(self):
        print self.y
        self.__class__.y+=1

if __name__ == "__main__":
    b=B()
    b.foo()
    b.bar()
    b.foo()
    b.bar()
    b.bar()
    a=B()
    a.foo()
    a.bar()
    a.bar()


Thanks for pointing this out.
