The attached file produced the following result: ______________________ trott$ python2.5 p6.py [] [1234] ______________________ I expected both times the empty list since the print statement prints just a defaulted parameter ("e") which was defaulted to an empty list literal ("[]") and never set by supplying an actual class parameter. The object property "entries" appears to be shared by both instances. Why?

I expected both times the empty list since the print
statement prints just a defaulted parameter ("e") which
was defaulted to an empty list literal ("[]") and never set
by supplying an actual class parameter.

The object property "entries" appears to be shared by
both instances. Why?
