This may have been how Thomas Edison constructed the light bulb,
but this is not the Right Way to learn a programming language.

A better approach is to read the manual.
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/nested-scopes.html

Although in this case, I must admit, the manual primarily serves
to steer Python newbies towards a career in light bulb
development :-/

But wait a minute, why would a newbie want to use nested classes
anyway?
