Hey everyone I just had a quick question: How would I create a static class member in Python. So for example if I had a class called Cat, and everytime I init a cat it adds 1 cat to the count of every instance of the cat class.

Just add them to the class definition, rather than the __init__ method which is for the instance.

>>> class Cat(object):	count=0	def __init__(self):		Cat.count += 1		>>> x = Cat()>>> y = Cat()>>> print Cat.count2>>>
