Material to review for next week

Next week, we’ll get started on Object Oriented Methods. It’s a good idea to read up on it first – so we can dive right in:

• Dive into Python3: 7.2 – 7.3 http://www.diveintopython3.net/iterators.html#defining-classes
• Think Python: 15 – 18 http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/thinkpython016.html
• LPTHW: 40 – 44 http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex40.html

[note that in py3 you don’t need to inherit from object]
