Java, ey? ;)

Why do you write a method that jut returns a variable anyway? Forget 
that. Python doesn't need getters and setters.

That is (I think) because you have two things called "isCompleted" in 
your class: The variable of type int (which BTW had better been of type 
bool) and the method.
As I said, just scrap the method. In Python it's perfectly OK to expose 
variables in the API. If you still want getters and setters, use look 
into properties.
