The SetName class method sets the name on the *class* dictionary.  The
class's __init__ method also sets a name (None) on the *instance*
dictionary.  From an instance's perspective, the instance dictionary
will shadow the class dictionary.  If you remove the attribute from
the instance dictionary entirely (delete the "self.name = None" line),
and leave the class dictionary as is, then you will get the output you
want (although from your later post I am not certain that this is the
behaviour you want).

Right.

The appropriate place to do this so that it applies to all instances
of the class rather than to the class would be inside the __init__
method.

Also, instances don't have a __name__ attribute, so it's still unclear
to me what you're looking for.  Did you mean the effect to be that of
"instance.SetName(cls.__name__)"?  If so, then the decorator approach
(with the line "self.name = None" removed) should be fine for your
purposes -- you'll just have the name stored in the class dict instead
of in each instance dict, but it will still be visible as long as you
haven't shadowed it.
