No need to guess, there's this thing named the python interactive shell,
you know... And it even has an integrated help system.

Explain what ? It's all in the fine manual.

* Klass() is a call to Klass's constructor and returns an instance of Klass.

* Klass.method(klass_instance) is the same as klass_instance.method()
* str is the builtin string class.
* without any args, the str constructor returns an empty string
* str.join() takes a sequence of strings and join'em with the target str
instance as separator

Now would you be kind enough to explain what's funny about all this ?
