1)	You fail to create an INSTANCE of a Player...

2)	You set a classwide (ie, ALL instances will have the value) "hp" to a
value of 10

3)	You then loop AS LONG AS the classwide value is 10 (ie; forever)

4)	 You are printing a reference to the __init__ method of the class

5)	 You defined __init__ to take some argument, which you need to pass to
the instance creation


	__init__ is called when you create an instance of the class... that is:

instance = Player()

	Unless you do something IN the __init__ method to change self.hp the
loop will never end.


class Player(object):	#I'm still in Python 2.x, so inheriting from object
						#is needed to get a "new-style" class

	def __init__(self, patt):
		self.hp =  random.randint(0,11)
		self.patt = patt		#no idea what you  intend to do with this

while True:
	aplayer = Player("Junk")	#"Junk" will be bound to self.patt
								#aplayer is an instance of Player with
								#a random hp value
	print aplayer.hp
	if aplayer.hp == 10: break
