Two things: Derive your class from object, and the constructor function should be '__init__', that is, with *two* underscores before and after it. Are you reading a book or tutorial which does use a badly chosen font which doesn't distinguish two consecutive underscores well? class S(object): def __init__(self, name=None): self.name = name s = S("MyName") print s.name Greetings, -- "If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn." - Ayn Rand -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
