No return given so it will default to returning None, but...

...you seem to be expecting addtwice to be returning a Python float. 
Only you can tell us why as I've not yet gone to first year mind reading 
classes :)

You are passing y, it's called self.  Why aren't you passing x?

Put whatever it is you want appended to self.data in the call to 
y.addtwice.  And/or get addtwice to return the correct data type. 
And/or correct anything that I've missed like I did the first time around.
