While this will work, keep in mind that all instances of MyClass will share
the same list.

# Untested
>> a = MyClass()
>> print a.lista
['default', 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>> a = MyClass()
>> print a.lista
['default', 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]


To get around this, you'd need to copy the list (see the copy module).
