Here you print your self.name value etc.

Here you print whatever is returned from the summary() method. Since
that method doesn't return anything explicitly, None is returned by
default, and you are printing that.

One simple fix - change the summary method to returnt the values
rather than print them - replace 'print' with 'return' in that method.
Another would be not to print the returned values - remove 'print'
from your while loop.
