Are you sure you understand object-oriented programming? Reading the
Python tutorial[1] and re-reading the above error messages should clue
you in to what you're doing wrong. To put it simply, the whole point of
classes is that you create instances of them, each having their own
internal state, and then invoke their methods to accomplish whatever it
is that you want your program to accomplish.
