class module:

   class nested:
      nestedVar = 1
      def __init__(self):
         print "Initialized..."

   def __init__(self):
      self.nestedClass = module.nested()
      print self.nestedClass.nestedVar

Python will not look into the current class scope when trying to resolve 
"nested", that is why the explicit call including the scope is required.
The code above runs fine with python 2.5.
