Please, when asking questions, let us know what version of python you're 
using.  I'm guessing 2.x?

In any case, the problem is that you defined a class whose constructor 
takes no arguments:

> class  haha(object):
>   def  theprint(self):
>     print "i am here"

You didn't define an __init__() method, so it inherits the one from the 
base class, object.

Then here:

> >>> haha(object).theprint()

you try to create an instance of your class and give an argument to the 
constructor.
