Question about Objects - repost with correct email account

[bas68]

I've been hacking visual basic for several years and understand the basic
concepts of OOP. That said, I'm stumped here with the Python Class.

Here is the Class...

>class Test:
>    def __init__(self, something):
>        self.something = something
>
>    def getSomething(self):
>        return self.something

This is what I get when I test it. Why does <getSomething> not return the
value of <something>? is obvious that <something> has a value. I fear this
is a simple oversight but I've racked my brain for hours looking at online
doc's and examples. Thanks for any help!!
