[Tutor] Why doesn't this work?

[w chun]

on a barely related note, sets (mutable [set] and immutable
[frozenset]) were added to Python beginning in version 2.3...  so
don't work too hard on your class!  you may want to try something more
interesting like:

write a class which let's you keep track of time and does base 60
(sexagesimal / hexasegimal) math:

>>> import myTime
>>> c = myTime.myTime(10,30)
>>> print c
10:30
>>> d = myTime.myTime(8,45)
>>> print c + d
19:15

even better, also allow the constructor to take a string '10:30' in
addition to the integers, and validate the parameters as necessary.  
(this is one of the exercises for "Core Python".)

enjoy!
