I suppose that someone already define classes Person ans Address.
For example, in this stupid way in a foreign module:

class Person(object):
   pass

class Address(object):
   pass

and the following statements

person = Person():
   name = "john"
   age = 30
   address = Address():
      street = "Green Street"
      no = 12

are constructing an instance as follows:

person = Person()
person.name = "john"
person.age = 30
address = person.address = Address()
address.street = "Green Street"
address.no = 12

Yes, that's right. I aware about this way of instance initialization.
