Need help to pass self.count to other classes.

Unfortunately this won't do what you expect, because sys.ps1 and ps2 
should be either strings, or objects with a __str__ method. They aren't 
called to generate the prompt.

(After fixing the typo with self.count vs self.zxc)


>>> kbi = kbInterface()
>>> sys.ps1 = kbi.prompt1
<bound method kbInterface.prompt1 of <__main__.kbInterface object at 
0xb7cbd52c>>print "Hello"
Hello
<bound method kbInterface.prompt1 of <__main__.kbInterface object at 
0xb7cbd52c>>
