newbie class question

It seems to me that what you are after is a nested or inner class like 
in JAVA. You can't do that in the same way as in JAVA, as nested classes 
in python don't know about their surrounding class/context.

So, to accomplish what you want, you need e.g. this recipe from aspn:
