Let's try this one more time.  I thought that I would try to make Alan's
code work.  Here is the version what I have now:

class Printer:
  def __init__(self,number=0):
     self.value = number
  def sayIt(self):
     print self.value

class MyApp:
  def __init__(self, aPrinter = None):
      if aPrinter == None:     # if no object passed create one
         aPrinter = Printer()
      self.obj = aPrinter      # assign object
  def doIt():
      self.obj.sayIt()         # use object

def test():
  p = Printer(42)
  a1 = MyApp()
  a2 = MyApp(p)   # pass p object into a2
  a1.doIt(self)   # prints default value = 0
  a2.doIt(self)   # prints 42, the value of p

test()

When I run it, I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "alan_class.py", line 22, in <module>
    test()
  File "alan_class.py", line 19, in test
    a1.doIt(self)   # prints default value = 0
NameError: global name 'self' is not defined
