I suspect that if you look closely you'll find that the "testing"
print statement
came after the "hello world" rather than before it.
def test_callback(self, this_callback):
print "testing the callback"
this_callback

I hope so, and it should now display the "testing" message before
the "hello" message. As to whether you are "there" yet that really
depends
on whether you are comfortable that you understand the concept
clearly.
Can you modify the program *without modifying the classes* to use an
ordinary function as the callback? Say this goodbye function:
def goodbye():
print "goodbye world"
This should not require more than 5 lines of new code and no changes
to the
existing code. It could be done in 3...
If you succeed then I'll be happy that you've grasped it.
