Stop right there. You're confusing modules and
classes. A class has a (meaningful) __init__ method,
which is called when the class is instantiated. You
*can* have an __init__ in a module, but it doesn't
do anything special.

You really just want to rename __init__ to rawdata
and drop the redundant "return rawdata" function.
