You're mixing up classes and instances of classes here. `values()`
operates on _instances_ of `Times`.

You can do:

mytimes = Times()
mytimes.values()

or, within a method of class `Times`:

self.values()

or, if `context` contains an instance of `Times`:

context.values()

You cannot do:

Times.values()

as `values()` is not a classmethod.

Hope that helps,
