if __name__ == "__main__":
  aTest = test(whateverdevice)
  print aTest.dt

Some advices:

- a common practice in python is to name classes in CamelCase ( read http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ )
- if dt is a shortcut for data, it's a bad one.
- default values are for loosers, they should be used only to keep backward compatibility (personal opinion, a lot of ppl would disagree)
- "call" is usually reserved for method and function, or any callable object in python. What you're trying to do is to reference an object, not calling it.
