I editted your code to something closer to what is expected.
Not a law but just a recommendation.
Also defining a class my_function(..): --might-- be confusing to
others as in Python there are things called functions that look like
this:
def my_function(name):
print "Hi %s" % name
note the use of "def" and not "class"
Of course if you are making classes that represent custom application
"functions" verse Python "functions" then yeah, calling your class:
class MyFunction(object): ... makes sense
I included the __doc__ "You are documenting" stuff because you seem so
new. Otherwise when posting here they're not expected to be in these
posts.
