That's often the point of using classes - you want to collect related data
and functions in one place. In this case, you're creating a clock widget,
so you want all of your clock data and methods inside your class.

Take a look at what's available from the localtime:

>>> help(time.localtime)

and

>>> help(time.localtime())

You should be able to figure out a way to make it work pretty much like
what your initial thought was.

As an aside, you've been top-posting, which can cause a lot of problems for
people who want to follow the thread of the conversation - all they see is
what you've written with no context. The appropriate thing to do is reply
inline, removing any irrelevant material and (usually) indicating that
you've done so with a <snip> or [...] or something similiar.

HTH,
Wayne
