Defining a Class

>>> class Person:
... 	def __init__(self, hair_colour="brown", eye_colour="blue"):
... 	    self.hair_colour = hair_colour
... 	    self.eye_colour = eye_colour
...

• __init__ is a special method; the 'constructor'
• Gets called when you instaniate a new object, by calling the class directly
• Used for setting up an object
