A "Variable defined in a class" is one defined directly in the
class scope, like so:

      class ...:
	....
        this_is_a_class_variable = ...
	....

Variables defined in methods (inside the class) or local variables
of the method and not class variables. They are thread safe.

Instance variables/attributes (defined via "self.instance_attribute = ...")
are no class variables. In Zope, they are usually thread safe (provided
the instance is a persistent Zope object).

Reading the "zodb3.pdf" document may provide more information...
