Newbie inheritance question.

[bwobbones]

Hi all,
 I'm a java programmer struggling to come to terms with python - bear 
with me!

 I'm trying to subclass a class, and I want to be able to see it's 
attributes also.  Here are my classes:

one.py:
*****************************
class one:
   def __init__(self):
       print "one"
       self.testVar = 1
   def printHello(self):
       print "hello"
*****************************
two.py
*****************************
from one import one
class two(one):
   def __init__(self):
       print "two"
   def printTestVar(self):
       print "testVar: " + str(self.testVar)
*****************************
and the driver to make it work:
*****************************
from two import two
class driver:
   def go(self):
       print "driver"
       self.two = two()
       self.two.printHello()
       self.two.printTestVar()
if __name__ == '__main__':
   d = driver()
   d.go()
*****************************
the "self.two.printTestVar()" call doesn't work: shouldn't two.py have 
access to all of it's parents attributes?  In java I would make the 
testVar protected so it's children could see it.  How do I do this in 
python?

Thanks,
Bones
