Suggestion/question for IntelliJ name shadowing?
Answered
class oops:
shared_list = []
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.shared_list = []
def add_to_shared_list(self, item):
self.shared_list.append(item)
def show_shared_list(self):
print(f"{self.name}: shared_list = {self.shared_list}")
So I'm not getting any notification that shared_list is being shadowed and was wondering if it might be a good idea to have it there? Or is it technically not being shadowed so it's not necessary? :o

Hi S Jake D, this looks like a valid syntax with a class variable and instance variable. Please check out this thread with similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12409963/23603774
Hey Mikhail,
Yup I understand that it's valid syntax, but my example is shadowing another variable name outside of its scope, so I was just suggesting that it might be a good idea for intellij to warn a user if they did such a thing.
