	Nevermind, I just figured out the problem. RedGlassCost() returns an 
instance of the RedGlassCost class, whereas RedGlassCost is the class 
itself. Thus, you need to remove the parentheses either in the 
def_glasstype function (you then return a class, affect it to 
glasschoice and then create an instance of it by instanciating 
glasschoice) or in your last line (glass_type returns an instance of 
the class you want).
