basic Class in Python

[BarryJOgorman]

Working through Lutz's 'Learning Python'

Trying to run the following code (from file person.py - see below):

The file is held in Python31.

at the Python31 prompt am entering ''person.py'

Getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last)
File "C:python31\person.py", line 9, in (module)
bob=Person('Bob Smith', job='barman', pay =34000)
TypeError: object._new_() takes no parameters




#Add incremental self test code

class Person:
def _init_(self, name, job=None, pay=0):
self.name = name
self.job = job
self.pay = pay

bob = Person('Bob Smith', job='barman', pay = 34000)
sue = Person('Sue Jones', job='dev', pay=10)
print(bob.name, bob.pay)
print(sue.name, sue.pay)

Starting with Classes - basic problem

[barryjogorman]

HAVE THE FOLLOWING VERY BASIC PROGRAM:

class Person:
def _init_(self,name, job=None, pay=0):
self.name=name
self.job=job
self.pay=pay

bob = Person('Bob Smith')
sue = Person('Sue Jones', job='dev', pay = 10)
print(bob.name, bob.pay)
print(sue.name, sue.pay)

I am getting the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python31/person1.py", line 7, in 
bob = Person('Bob Smith')
TypeError: object.__new__() takes no parameters



All suggestions gratefully received.
