Re: getting started question

It looks to me like your Phone class is inheriting from itself which is a problem. Your phone module should inherit from com_phone.Phone or the module for a phone that is similar to yours. Welcome to python hell ;)

As for adding the phone, __init__.py is the proper file to add the phone to.
