Presumably the lines above ar in a separate file called Student.py?

And the lines below are in another file  called app.py?

If so thats a good start.
Steve (and others have already pointed out the need for a space after 
def (otherwise python looks for a function called def__init__() and 
wonderswhy yu have a colon after its  invocation)

But that will only lead you to the next error.

When accessing an object in an imported module you must precede
the object's name with the module:

student1 = Student.Student(....) # Student class in the Student module

Alternatively you can explicitly import the Student class (and nothing 
else!) from Student with:

from Student import Student

I which case you can use it as you do in your code.
In your case it doesn't really matter which of the two styles
you choose. In more complex programs explicit module naming
might make your code clearer (eg. if you have many modules).
Alternatively, pulling in the specific object might save
you some typing if you reference the object several times.
You need to choose which is most appropriate based on your code.
