# unless you need pre 2.3.x compat, better to use newstyle classes
class MyClass(object):
   # use the initializer to initialize your instance
   def __init__(self, name=''):
     # the use of 'self' is mandatory, else you only have a local var
     self.name = name

# don't use builtin names as identifiers - unless you really want to
# shadow the builtins
d = {0:[MyClass('hello')}
d[0].append(MyClass('goodbye'))
d.setdefault(1, []).append(MyClass('Yo'))
print d
