class - How to understand python classes? -

hello i'm learning python, first language. i'm trying figure out how classes work. have small code , can't work after week of searching. thank helping me.

also i'm trying figure out getattr , super do. read on documentation not easy me understand. english not native language , little difficult understand sometimes.if can explain 2 things or if know website explains in simple way thank it.

here code:

import sys   class map(object):     dicti = {'stuff': stuff(),              'more_stuff': more_stuff()     }      class stuff:          def stuff(self):             print "did work?"             next = raw_input("type next: ")              if next == "next":                 return 'more_stuff'             else:                 print "what? lets try again."                 return 'stuff'            class morestuff:          def more_stuff(self):             print "ok"              next = raw_input('type next: ')              if next == "next":                 return 'stuff'              else:                 print "bye."                 sys.exit(0)   class newclass(map):      def __init__(self, themap):          self.themap = themap      def continu(self):          next = self.themap          while true:             print "----"              room = next()     a_test = newclass('stuff') a_test.continu() 

you passing string 'stuff' newclass, becoming self.themap

later assigning next = self.themap, next reference string 'stuff'.

room = next() fail because can't call string
