  Well, from first look nothing appears wrong.  A NameError means that
Python can't find the object your talking about - in this case it's Address,
and that's the class.  How are you running this?  Here is my attempt at the
interepreter...

>>> class Address:
...  def __init__(self, Hs, St, Town, Zip):
...   self.HsNumber = Hs
...   self.Street = St
...   self.Town = Town
...   self.ZipCode = Zip
...
>>> Addr = Address(7,"High St", "Anytown", "123 456")
>>> print Addr.HsNumber
7
>>>  ## etc

  Can you try again, and if you still have trouble post again in more
detail?

  Thanks,
  Glen.
