Unless you _need_ old-style, use new style.

Define equality (__eq__) if you want to compare for equality.

If str and repr are to be equal, just define repr.


class Note(object):
     def __init__(self, note, accidentals):
         self.note_name = note
         self.accidentals = accidentals

     def has_the_same_name(self, note):
         return self == note

     def __eq__(self, other):
         return isinstance(other, Note) and (
                   self.note_name == other.note_name and
                   self.accidentals == other.accidentals)

     def __repr__(self):
         return self.note_name + accidentals[self.accidentals]
