A dumb question about a class

[Dick Moores]

I'm still trying to understand classes. I've made some progress, I 
think, but I don't understand how to use this one. How do I call it, 
or any of its functions? It's from the Cookbook, at 
<http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/523048>.

Thanks,

Dick Moores
