Sure, though we'd normally use a class statement instead:

class Card:
    def __init__(self, name, email):
        self.name = name
        self.email = email
    def PrintCard(self):
        ''' whatever... '''

ali = Card('Ali, 'alik at alik.com')
zainab = Card('Zainab', 'zainab at zainab.com')


If for some weird reason you're keen to make Card a factory function
rather than a class, that can be arranged, too.  But the normal way in
Python is just to use and define classes.
