Hello Decebal, I am new to python myself, which might be the cause why I do not get that "last line" at all. To me it looks like you are trying to set a variable in the class body (if I am reading the indent correctly) and call a function (that does not exist?) to calculate the value for it. Does that work at all?
About a week ago I learned something, that might solve your problem: You can only access the instance's variables from within a function. The variable is not visible from the outside. To get that value (12 on your example) you have to be in a function, or call your returnValue() function from the outside. I hope, that I did not waste your time with my lowest level knowledge.
