looks good for a first run

Now, to really use this, we modify it slighty.

becomes :

if __name__ == '__main__:
   main()

What this does is check that the script is being run as a script by the
interpreter, if so, run main().  By adding this check you can now do:

import Apartment # or whatever you call the foo.py script
dog = Apartment.pet('fifi')

and use the classes in other code.
