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=3DNone):
        self.name =3D name

s =3D S("MyName")
print s.name
