Contrary to what was stated in my tutorial, python data members should not be initialized outside of the __init__ function. Therefore, for example, instead of having:

class MyClass:
	a = 0
	def __init__(self, _a):
		self.a = _a

You would actually have:

class MyClass:
	def __init__(self, _a):
		self.a = _a

The 'self' making the variable a a data member of the class. Otherwise, there are times where you will get incorrect output of data members, etc, as was pointed out by a very wise redditor.

Sorry if I misled anyone!
