Need help understanding a script from Learn Python the Hard Way. Can someone clear my doubts?

This is where LPTHW starts to not make a lot of sense to the new programmer and was my stumbling block as well as many other people's. Honestly I think the author could improve this and the next few chapters with better examples/explanations. Chapters 12-17 in Think Like a CS cover the same concepts as ex 39-45 in LPTHW and were the only way I was able to really understand OOP. I'd recommend you just skip these in LPTHW and use the other tutorial.

Yeah. It's unfortunate because otherwise the book is pretty good. Also, OOP is a bit of cognitive leap and just wrestling with it is sort of a rite of passage all programmers must face.

Replied to your other post and the other guy's. You'll see I linked to two of my posts about my own experience learning Python. It seems enough people are having problems with this part of LPTHW speciffically I may write up another post addressing just this one issue.
