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
