python nested class

[Vedanta Barooah]

greetings....

in a python nested class is it possible to change the value of the
parent class's variable without actually creating an instance of the
parent class, consider this code:

class mother:
        x=0
        def __init__(self):
                self.x=1
        def show(self):
                print self.x
        class child:
                def increase(self,num):
                        # mother.increase=num
o = mother()
o.show()
y=mother.child()
y.increase(20)
# this should print 20
o.show()

..... is it possible somehow ???

thanks and regards,
vedanta
