Here's a page from the Python tutorial wiki which may be helpful to you: http://pytut.infogami.com/node11-baseline.html It's an introduction to classes which, appositely, uses a Student class as an example. Still a work in progress. Feel free to leave a comment if you find it helpful or not - your input would be very much valued. (Note the StudentTracker class).
