PS: I guess you misunderstand the methods withdraw and deposit: If you read the
code (read it again), they *do* something, meaning they process an *action*.
Understand they name as verbs. As a consequence they do not return anything
result (they do not *make* anything). They are like Pascal procedures. So that
you should state instead:
w = float('50.00')
###w = a.withdraw(remove_data)
print "withdraw = ", w
