difference between variables inside and outside of __init__()

Question

Is there any difference at all between these classes besides the name?

class WithClass ():
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = \"Bob\"
    def my_fu         


        

Answer 1

Example code:

class inside:
    def __init__(self):
        self.l = []

    def insert(self, element):
        self.l.append(element)


class outside:
    l = []             # static variable - the same for all instances

    def insert(self, element):
        self.l.append(element)


def main():
    x = inside()
    x.insert(8)
    print(x.l)      # [8]
    y = inside()
    print(y.l)      # []
    # ----------------------------
    x = outside()
    x.insert(8)
    print(x.l)      # [8]
    y = outside()
    print(y.l)      # [8]           # here is the difference


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
