It works for me:

>>> class Employee:
...    pass
...
>>> john = Employee()
>>> print john
<__main__.Employee instance at 0x007A7360>
>>>

The only thing I can think of, assuming you are iusing the 
interpreter directly is that you didn't type the extra ENTER
needed to get back to the >>> prompt after defining Employee.
But that gives a different error message(Syntax error).
