Have you tried looking at dir(TheClass) to see what it lists?

Also helpful is TheClass.__dict__.keys().

Python has powerful introspection abilities. Learn to use them, and you 
too will be able to impress your friends with your Python knowledge.

X is an "old style" class. Most people probably shouldn't use old style 
classes, for various reasons. To use new style classes, you inherit from 
object:

class X(object)
