I've placed this code within /Lib/sitecustomize.py, but have one
strange result:

>>> from talker import *
>>> t = Talker()
>>> t.sayHello
  : <bound method Talker.sayHello of <talker.Talker instance at
0x00DEA198>>
>>> t.sayHello()
Hello world
  : None
>>>

1st: "Hello world" comes still on the beginning.
2nd: I got this "None"


class Talker:
    def sayHello(self):
        print 'Hello world'
 
    def talk(self):
        self.sayHello()
