This makes "obj" a synonym for "example".  You want to 
instantiate your "example" class with

   obj = example("Some foo", "Some Bar")

>     obj.foo = "var1"
>     obj.bar = "var2"

which then makes these two lines either unneeded or an 
overwriting of the initialization

>     obj.method

and this returns a function, not the results of the function. 
You need to call it

   obj.method()
