Nope.  You haven't made your logic clear, but I think you are still 
confused about when the code in the class suite is run, and still think 
of it as running when an instance is created.

Try running this code:

class first:
     print("from first")

Just that.  No instantiation, no "first()", nothing else.  Just the 
class suite itself.
