Sorry folks, this is what I meant:

>>> class heh(object):
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.foo='hello'
...     def change(self):
...         self.foo+=' world'
...     def show(self):
...         return self.foo
...
...     class hih(object):
...         def show(self):
...             return heh().foo
...
>>> x=heh()
>>> print x.hih().show()
hello
>>> x.change()
>>> print x.show()
hello world
>>> print x.hih().show()
hello

I want that last one to print 'hello world'

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion.
