Python 2.4 (#1, Dec 31 2004, 17:21:43) [GCC 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> class Gumby(object): ... def __init__(self, body_part): ... self.body_part = body_part ... def speak(self): ... print "My %s hurts!" % self.body_part ... >>> g = Gumby("brain") >>> g <__main__.Gumby object at 0x402c570c> >>> g.speak() My brain hurts! Despite what Mr Gumby just said, defining your own classes is pretty painless in Python.
