Side point: This is a poor example for _any_ Python. In Py2, that
makes an old-style class, which will work fine until you try to use a
feature that it can't handle, and then you'll wonder what on earth is
wrong. And in Py3, the print calls need their parens. But it's a
pointless example of a class, which leaves you wondering why a better
example couldn't be found...

Definitely look for a better book, preferably one aimed at Python 3.4 or 3.5.
