learnpython.org: Classes_and_Objects static var represented as instance var

[dz0]

Hi, not sure if I should address the issue here, but maybe you can redirect :)

in https://www.learnpython.org/en/Classes_and_Objects in Accessing Object Variables in 3-rd exercise

class MyClass:
    variable = "blah"

    def function(self):
        print("This is a message inside the class.")

myobjectx = MyClass()
myobjecty = MyClass()

myobjecty.variable = "yackity"

# Then pring out both values
print(myobjectx.variable)
print(myobjecty.variable)

explanation does'nt mention, that new instance variable is created (and overrides static variable for that instance) And doesn't mention possibility of MyClass.variable = "asdf"

imo, instead should be introduced

    __init__(self):
         self.variable = "blah"
