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 = 100000)
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 <module>
    bob = Person('Bob Smith')
TypeError: object.__new__() takes no parameters



All suggestions gratefully received.
