RE: it's not an instance. It's just a class. You have not instantiated one

Both "Learning Python" and "Core Python Programming", page 153 ist 
edition 1999 printing and page 420 2001 printing, respectively,  seemed 
to define this as creating an instance.

Also see the example I sent to Lloyd Kvam, which typed to an instance.

instantiated one of it yet.

sampledict.defaultdict is a class
x = sampledict.defaultdict() makes a new class.

Read the section in the tutorial on classes.
