addvalue, how do i implement the code?

[Emile van Sebille]

I'm not sure exactly what you're after,
but name/value pairs probably want to be
in a dictionary structure.

Also, the way it looks like you want to
invoke this is addressed with __call__:

class addv:
    def __call__(self,x,y):
        return x + y

test = addv()
print test(3,4)

HTH,
