Static properties in Python
<p>I am relatively new to Python and was hoping someone could explain the following to me:</p>

<pre><code>class MyClass:
  Property1 = 1
  Property2 = 2

print MyClass.Property1 # 1
mc = MyClass()
print mc.Property1 # 1
</code></pre>

<p>Why can I access Property1 both statically and through a MyClass instance?</p>
