Class Variable behaving like Instance Variable (Python 3.4)

Question

Python 3.4.0a1
Windows 8.1

Class Created:

class Bank(object):  
    bankrupt = False  

Command entered in IDLE __main__

Answer 1

With b.bankrupt = True you create an instance variable that shadows the class-level variable.

If you want to change the class variable use

Bank.bankrupt = True
