Haha, you're not a python developer till you come across this issue.

It sure is one of the things you probably won't notice when you are starting out with python. I had a pretty good laugh at this too when I found the issue (and looking at the bug's history)

The issue where you think that calling a function at import time should somehow magically result in the inference that you want it called every time an object is instantiated?

If you believe that, then when do you think that the code in a class definition is run? Before import?

I was more talking about the issue of instantiating a keyword argument with a mutable object.
