Can you clarify what you mean? Would that define a Person class, and an  
Address class?

If you are expecting those classes to be already defined, please bear in  
mind that if you want, you can do this:

	def __init__(self, name='Nemo', age=0, address=None):
		self.name = name
		self.age = age
		self.address = address

> > > class Address(object):
	def __init__(self, street=None, no=None):
		self.street = street
		self.no = no
	
> > > otherperson = Person(
		     name = 'Bob',
		     age = 26,
		     address = Address(
			     street = 'Blue Street',
			     no = 1
			     )
		     )
