When it invokes a class method, Python passes an invisible first argument
(commonly called 'self') for you that is a reference to the current object.
You'll need to account for this in the parameter list for each method:
class Person:
def __init__(self, Name):
self.setPhone(Name)
def setPhone(self, Name):
self.PhoneNumber = string
etc.
