The __init__() method, in particular:
class Temperature(object):
   def __init__(self, celcius):
     self.celcius = celcius
etc.

But in this example there doesn't seem to be any need fo a class to hold 
this function. You could make a standalone function 
celciusToFahrenheit() that takes the celcius temperature as a parameter 
and returns the fahrenheit temperature.
