Fortunately, it is not that bad.

The *code* is the same - but not the *state* within.

Code is written in classes which are "templates" for the
Python runtime to create live objects in memory during
execution.

So, not strictly but close enough, while, yes, it is simply
the same class instantiated twice those two instances do not
share the most-recent list information (as that is runtime
state).

Strictly speaking one is a child class of the other -
there's cPersonSearchCtrl and cActivePatientSelector.
