Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the DataUnit example and compare Transcrypt's generated JavaScript with the Python and Brython behavior shown in the issue. Trace the compiler entry point that emits class static members; done when static_total resolves static_one and static_two through DataUnit.

Description

STATE: under consideration
  1. in python and brython the following works fine:
    https://www.brython.info/tests/editor.html?lang=en
class DataUnit:
   static_one = 'one'
   static_two = 'two'
   static_total = static_one + static_two
  1. in transcrypt, generated js uses direct mapping
...
{
   static_one : 'one',
   static_two : 'two',
   static_total : static_one + static_two // SCOPE NOT AVAILABLE
}
  1. solution: generated js could use class prefix:
...
{
   static_one : 'one',
   static_two : 'two',
   static_total : DataUnit.static_one + DataUnit.static_two,
}
