Name is not defined in Python

I'm using Python 2.7.12 and trying this code.

clientNet = []
class Client:
    def __init__(self, host, user, password):
        self.host = host
        self.user = user
        self.password = password
        self.session = self.connect()
    def connect(self):
        try:
            s = pxssh.pxssh()
            s.login(self.host, self.user, self.password)
            return s
        except Exception, e:
            print e
            print '[-] Error Connecting'
    def botnetCommand(command):
        for client in clientNet:
            output = client.send_command(command)
            print '[*] Output from ' + client.host
            print '[+] ' + output + '\n'
    def send_command(self, cmd):
        self.session.sendline(cmd)
        self.session.prompt()
        return self.session.before
    def addClient(host, user, password):
        client = Client(host, user, password)
        clientNet.append(client)

addClient('192.168.1.94','root','root')

And 

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "host.py", line 33, in <module>
    addClient('192.168.1.94','root','root')
NameError: name 'addClient' is not defined

I tried to run Client.addClient(..) but didn't resolve my problem. I think I need some help to understand this.. How cannot be defined if it is inside of the Class?

You need to make an instance of the class to use its methods first:

client = Client('192.168.1.94','root','root')
client.addClient('192.168.1.95','root','root')

Otherwise you could use a static method if you define the method as:

...
@staticmethod
def addClient(host, user, password):
    client = Client(host, user, password)
    clientNet.append(client)

and use it like:

Client.addClient(...)

without having to make an instance.
