Trying to print from inside a method

I'm still in the process of learning python via a handful of books I
bought. One book I am reading just introduced Base Class Methods. I
found that I needed more understanding on this concept and wrote a
short test program using the Author's code as a vague reference. My
question now really isn't Base Class related, but my question stems
from my test code so I will just post it as is.
##Test of Super() stuff
class First(object):
def __init__(self, wamba, nextel):
self.wamba = wamba
self.nextel = nextel
message1 = "This is message 1"
print message1
def message22(self):
message2 = "This is message 2"
print message2
class Second(First):
def __init__(self, samba, fextel, sony):
super(Second, self).__init__(samba, fextel)
self.sony = sony
print "This is message 1a"
test1 = First(wamba = "Mermaid Man", nextel = "Cell Phone")
test2 = Second(samba = "Barnical Boy", fextel = "Hooopla", sony =
"Nooo Good!")
My question came up when I wanted to print message1 directly and
couldn't figure out how to do it. I then added the message22 def
thinking that perhaps you couldn't print from constructor methods for
some reason. I then added the print line in the message22 def, just
out of desperation, and was able to make that work, but is not what I
wanted. Here is my copy from my IDEL attempts:
This is message 1
This is message 1
This is message 1a
>>> test1.message22()
This is message 2
>>> test2.message22()
This is message 2
>>> print test1.message22.message2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#39>", line 1, in -toplevel-
print test1.message22.message2
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'message2'
>>> print test1.message2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#40>", line 1, in -toplevel-
print test1.message2
AttributeError: 'First' object has no attribute 'message2'
>>> print First.message22.message2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#41>", line 1, in -toplevel-
print First.message22.message2
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'message2'
>>>
I know this is a very basic question but it's the stupid ones that
always get me.
